Expected behaviour of the (newish) MANAGED_UPDATE=1 MSI deployment parameter
The article https://support.1password.com/deploy-1password/?windows#msi-deployment-options
states:
and the https://releases.1password.com/windows/stable/ page states in the release notes for version 8.10.72:
But when I deploy the machine-wide (.msi) 1Password for Windows with the MANAGED_UPDATE=1 parameter specified, users are still prompted to update the application when new versions become available,
and they also have the ability to "Check for Updates".
I expected MANAGED_UPDATE=1 to stop both of these things from occurring and a recent https://www.reddit.com/r/1Password/comments/1k1dnsj/controlled_update_of_1password/ appears to support this assumption:
Am I missing something here?

Just deployed 8.10.82 to clients. Let's see how it handles the next 1Password for Windows update. I did notice on the first launch (post install) of 8.10.82, that the application was still flagging the update to 8.10.82. What's with that?
Yes, the %localappdata%\1Password folder would have been preserved between the installations. No .msi in the folder at the moment but I'll monitor that folder when we deploy the next version of 1Password for Windows. Thanks.

Would the %localappdata%\1Password folder happened to have been preserved in between installs? It sounds like the app may be finding the installer downloaded by the previous instance. Deleting the .MSI file downloaded to that folder will prevent this toast from appearing moving forward.
If the issue persists, I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Windows PC so that the team can review logs and determine whether the flags are being applied:

Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support@1password.com

Nope. 8.10.82 released and 8.10.80 installed with the MANAGED_UPDATE=1 parameter configured and still:
Thanks for the quick response. We only upgraded from 8.10.76 to 8.10.80 yesterday. I'll monitor the upgrade notification behaviour when the next version becomes available. That said, the "Check for Updates" option is still visible and operational with 8.10.80 installed with MANAGED_UPDATE=1 specified.
