    Found it.

     

    C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\User.zip\UserInterface\Settings.xml

    <Entry Type="DisableUpdateNotification" Value="l1" />    - Update Notifications Off

    <Entry Type="DisableUpdateNotification" Value="l0" />    - Update Notifications On

     

    This makes it very difficult to add logic to an install script/package. Very strange they went this way instead of registry values.

Now if you could just help us all out and post how to disable the enable custom visualizations button you would be a rockstar. :)
