@bwoods Be aware that Microsoft now considers the Manual setting for the HowToCheck option to be deprecated although it is currently still supported: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-apps/mac/mau-preferences#howtocheck

@sdagley , thank you for contributing to the post. I'm posting this as an alternative to deleting the Microsoft AutoUpdate.app. I'll take note to update this post when this configuration is no longer effective. Hope this helps someone out there. Thank you.
