C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle\storage
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle\updates


Point being, I was able to uninstall the forced update KindleForPC, manually download and install KindleForPC 2.4.0 (70904), delete the two folders, and have not seen further attempts to force update the software.

Thank you, hurr88icane, for the names of the files to delete.

Thank you, JSWolf, for the reminder to save the installer which I have just done.

I'll be installing KForPC while not connected to my network, too, in the hope that deleting those files will stay deleted and no forced update will happen when I reconnect to the network.

I'll be back as usual, if I have any issues. You all are very helpful.
