constant notifications from Support Assist

Ever since my warranty expired a couple of months ago, I get notifications to run support assist 4-5 times a day. Doesn't matter if I run support assist or not, I still get constant notifications. Does anyone know how to turn notifications off? They're very annoying.

SupportAssist is displaying updates already installed by Dell Update

I have both Dell Update and SupportAssist installed on my Dell Inspiron 7579. Even after updating my laptop using Dell Update, the same updates show up when I start SupportAssist. SupportAssist should have a way of knowing which updates have already been installed on the laptop.
