Currently I get an update notifications often. This is a great feature, but I would like to check only manually since I try to keep my system as stable as possible and do feature updates only in larger intervals with a system image done before. Never change a running system - besides it's a security fix.

Off-topic, but it would be great when Windows 10 pro would respect this too, the latest changes that it's not possible anymore to prevent feature updates 356 days is annoying.

Therefore, this automatic check with the following notification is rather spam for me than helpful.
Therefore I would like to have an option to control whether PowerToys are checking for updates at all.
Currently there is only an option to disable automatic updates.

Actually, I'm not sure what's best from a security point of view. Maybe it's better to just suppress regular update notifications, but show them in case of important security updates? But this might introduce too much complexity. Just speaking for myself. I'm fine to take this risk and check manually from time to time.
