I have created a batch file to stop the software update popup & I am including the batch file to disable Kindle for PC update.
in the software update batch file, I never did figure out how to close the cmd window, but it closes when you close Kindle.
Hope this helps.

The registry entries are updateDownloadDescription, updateDownloadUrl, and updateDownloadVersion. These entries contain a description of the 1.30 update, the URL from which it will be downloaded and the 1.30 build number, respectively.
Deleting any one of these seems to stop the popup on 1.21 and 1.24 (the only versions I have for testing). I've elected to delete all three.
I've been running without popups for several days on my 'live' Windows 10 machine with 1.24 installed and the three registry entries deleted.
It's certainly possible these entries may be repopulated given Amazon's aggressive push to update everyone to the latest version. So it may be necessary delete them again if the popups resume.
I welcome others who are confident in making registry changes to see if this also works for them.
