Hi Another Poor Slob: See the section titled 'Update Settings' in the Dell Command | Update Version 4.x User's Guide. Is there a check box at Settings | Update Settings | Automatically Check for Updates | Check For Updates that you can disable to stop automatic background updating? I use Dell Update for Windows Universal v4.7.1 on my Inspiron 5584, which cannot run automatic checks for updates. However, the update setting described for Dell Command | Update v4.7.1 in that user guide sounds similar to the setting I have in SupportAssist v3.13.0.126 at Options (gear icon) | Settings | Automate Scans and Optimizations (see image below). -------------64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.2486 * Firefox v109.0.0 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.2211.5-1.1.19900.2 * Malwarebytes Premium v4.5.20.230-1.0.1868 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7279 * SupportAssist v3.13.0.126 * Dell Update for Windows Universal v4.7.1 * Inspiron 5583/5584 BIOS v1.21.0Dell Inspiron 15 5584, Intel i5-8265U CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB Toshiba KBG40ZNS256G NVMe SSD, Intel UHD Graphics 620

Hey Mike, I would also like to find a solution for this. I'm having a further issue where I cannot change any settings in the Dell Command | Update 3.1.2 UWP app - all are greyed out. I was going to use ProcessExplorer to try and see what registry keys are edited when I change settings. Starting as administrator to try and gain permission to change these settings only throws an error. Do you experience this? I'm figuring if we can find a registry key or XML file fix for this, I don't even have to worry about the settings that can't be edited, but wanted to see if it was something that also applied to your environment. Looking further into this today when I have a few minutes and hope to come back with an update. Although my gut says that if you set the 'Check for updates' mode to Manual, that stop the update notifications from coming through on user computers, but this doesn't appear to be the presented behavior for your user machines. Matt

Hi everyone
We deploy "Dell Command | Update" on all our endpoints. Current version is 5.4.0. Recently our users started seeing this popup even though scheduled/automatic updates are disabled.
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Dell\UpdateService\Clients\CommandUpdate\Preferences\Settings\Schedule]"ScheduleMode"="ManualUpdates"
Does anybody know how we can hide this popup? Thank you!

DDM 1.x had only the one key under EnTech setting Lastcheck to 0 does not have any affect on DDM 2.x DDM 2.x might store its data under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dell\Dell Display Manager, where there are dozens of settings, none of which stand out as a candidate for toggling off auto-check for updates. The readme does not mention this.

Did you search the registry for Lastcheck? Then F3 to continue looking for EnTech? The DDM 2.x command line usage is found in the ReadMe. Then search for Lastcheck.The readme is found by by right clicking on the DDM menu in the system tray, then click ReadMe.

Update. In fact, that did not solve the problem. But I think I did find the solution. I went Start > All Apps > Windows Administrative Tools > Component Services > Local Services. Right-click Dell Update Services > Stop. When I did that, the update notification literally disappeared off my screen! I think it will be a final solution, but I'll post again, if I still need help. Thanks again :-)

Oh, thank you so very much! I will try to disable, rather than uninstall. However, I don't see a search box in the start menu. If it's the search box called 'Cortana', I disabled it, because it seemed like a gimmick. Plus, the taskbar is not the best place for it, for me. If that's the one, can you tell me how to re-enable it. And also maybe tell me how I can put is somewhere else besides the taskbar, and I will be able to keep it open. If that's not it, how do I get the search box to be visible?

I encountered the same problem. Run Dell Command as an administrator. This should prompt for admin credentials and that will prompt you to decide if you want to check for updates automatically or manually. I ran into this same problem with a domain joined machine updating to 4.6.0 from 4.4.
