DDM *2* registry value to disable auto update check
Back when DDM 1 was current, I was able to hunt down a registry setting to deploy via GPO to turn disable the auto-check for updates. (Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EnTech\DDM\Lastcheck=0)
Now that we're on DDM 2, I haven't had any luck in locating an equivalent setting. Does anyone know what it is?

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.

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.

I'm also interested to know if there is a solution to this.
Dell documentation (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-au/000060112/what-is-dell-display-manager) states updates can be restricted using cmd "ddm.exe /lockupdate", but this hasn't worked for me.
