In notepad++ 7.3 we have enable few plugins which we can find out from plugin tab. there is one more option inside the plugin tab is "show plugin manager". so my question is there any way we can disable that show plugin manager option so that we will not get any update related to plugin and also will not be able to install any extra plugin.

Navigate to your Notepad++ installation directory and remove/rename the plugins directory. That will get rid of the plugins menu altogether.
If you want to keep some of the Plugins I would expect it to be sufficient to rename/remove PluginManager.dll but that isn't working for me.
If it's just about updates go and check Disable auto-update in Notepad++.
Another option would be to edit the PluginManager.ini and either edit or remove the PluginManagerPlugins.xml file. It appears that by setting a high value for LastCheck Notepad++ won't be checking for new updates for the PluginManagerPlugins.xml file. If you clear the XML file it would display an empty list of available plugins. Alternatively you could probably supply a (false) proxy to let it fail the request. From my limited testing it seems to also work to remove the PluginManagerPlugins.xml and rename the PluginManager.dll in order for the Client to not download a new plugin list.
