How to disable automatic updates in Debug Diagnostics 2.1 using PowerShell

Greetings all.

I am writing a PowerShell script to do an unattended install of Debug Diagnostics Tool version 2.2.0.14.  The installer is an x64 .msi.

The unattended install works fine, but I am unable to find the correct switch/command to disable automatic updates for the tool.  Here is the latest code I tried:

Execute-MSI -Action 'Install' -Path "<filepath>\DebugDiagx64.msi" -Parameters "/qn /norestart ALLUSERS=2 DISABLE_AUTOUPDATES=1"

Other switches I have tried for disabling updates includes DISABLE_UPDATES=1, UPDATES=0 and UPDATES=FALSE.  None of these work.

Updates can be disabled manually through the Options & Settings GUI.  Screenshots for this are attached.

I really need a way to disable the automatic updates through PowerShell during an unattended installation.

Thanks.
