Turning off Live Updates by default in Layout Inspector

I recently updated Android Studio and the update included some new features for Layout Inspector. There is now a live updates checkbox that seems to be turned ON by default when running the debugger. Unfortunately, my app slows down to a crawl while this is active so I need to check off the feature every time after the app starts, which is a lot. I would like to know if there is a setting to keep live updates off by default instead of on. Thank you!

You can disable Live Layout Inspector by unchecking the Enable Live Layout Inspector box under the Layout Inspector header in the Experimental section. Screenshot of Android Studio Preferences

Note: I'm currently on Android Studio 4.1-RC version and have no elected to update to the latest stable version so the exact details may change depending on what A.S. version you're on.
