Nvidia update settings (daemonu) on M11x R3

Noticed today that my network traffic was running far higher than normal due to the process daemonu.exe, which is the Nvidia update manager. Now, normally this wouldn't be a problem but during the day I am on mobile broadband which is metered so I killed the process. I've done some digging around, but there doesn't seem to be any way to change the settings for the Nvidia update manager to update either manually or when I know I will be at home. The control panel is purely for the graphics and I cannot see anywhere else where I can play with settings - anyone know how I can change this?

 

stop the service.

 

I presume you mean so that I could start it again next time I somewhere where I would be happy to run the download and update? The question then becomes does the service do an update check on a schedule such as at startup, or at a certain time/day of the month? And if it misses one check does it do it again next time the service is activated? Since these are unknown (as in not specified anywhere in the software that I can see, even though it really should be user configurable), I might as remove the update manager (if it isn't bundled with the Nvidia control panel, which I would need to keep) and fully manage the software manually. I have a memory from another machine of having the ability to control the Nvidia software's access to my network connection so that it would notify me when an update was available but not download it until I said yes... but that might've been before the IT industry started dumbing stuff down.

Since I use this machine mostly away from home, it spends its week mostly on a WWAN connection so I like to control this kind of behaviour so software does not try to pull down a huge update over the telephony network.
