Description

In my case installations are done by group policy and CANNOT be manually overridden without major issues. There needs to be a way to not update automatically and also not show update dialogs since these are all handled by the network admins and depend on multiple factors (the nature/necessity of upgrades for example). So they ALWAYS lag the latest update BY DESIGN. But most importantly you don't need to know that - it is outside of the scope of your responsibility. In fact, it is gross overreach for software authors to impose upgrade requirements without a user override option.

Please add an option to block these incredibly tedious and completely useless upgrade notification dialogs.
