What updates do I need to manage for TT Desktop?

When TT Desktop is launched, will it attempt to download any updates? Where will those updates be stored?

Can I control the auto-update of the TT Desktop application?
Yes. You can control the auto-update of the TT Desktop application by modifying the following Windows registry settings:
