      The Page Administering the Atlassian Companion App states that by using the MSI, the app won't automatically get the updates.

      If you deploy using the Microsoft Installer, the Companion app won’t automatically get the latest updates, including security and bug fixes, so some maintenance is required.

      While this is true, the logs are flooded with update checks on every few minutes

      Please remove the update check for the MSI version of the App.
