Solution
There are three possible solutions:
Use NI-DAQmx RuntimeThe full NI-DAQmx driver, which includes the NI Device Monitor, is meant to be installed in development environments. Deployment systems generally do not require the full driver. If the NI-DAQmx Runtime is installed instead of the full NI-DAQmx driver, utilities like Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) and the NI Device Monitor are not installed, so the popups will not show up when the hardware is connected to the computer.
This will require detecting and configuring all devices programmatically. Refer to Related Links for help achieving this.
Disable the NI Device Monitor NotificationsThis option will disable the popup message but allow using the NI Device Monitor manually.
1. Open the NI Device Monitor from the Windows system tray.
2. Click on Settings.
3. Enable the Prevent all notifications option.
Prevent the NI Device Monitor from RunningThis method will permanently prevent the Device Monitor from running, even after reboots.
1. Open the NI Device Monitor from the Windows system tray.
2. Click on Settings.
3. Disable the Run at startup option.
The NI Device Monitor can be started again by navigating to

Programs >>
