This plugin will completely disables the Plugins, Themes, and WordPress core update
notifications displayed by WordPress based on your plugin settings. Apart from this
it will also disable auto-update Email Notifications.

### 🎉 Disable auto-update Email Notifications

Since WordPress 5.5 version, if you have enabled plugin and theme auto-update you
will receive an automated email notifications when any plugin or theme auto-update
is successful or failed.

If you manage a dozen of websites, then the you will receive the constant stream
of auto-update notifications emails and may be it annoying you.

I have added a new feature to cure the problem by automatically Disable auto-update
Email Notifications for plugins and themes auto-update email notifications.

👉 Most importantly, This plugin is free and always will be free.

Bei 6.9.4 kommt eine Fehlermeldung. Besser nicht benutzen, lässt sich nicht installieren.

Blocks ALL updates – not notifications. I just installed this on a ton of sites 
on a very slow server. Now I have to go back and uninstall it to get updates working
again. Waste of time.

I mean, yes it disables annoying notifications. The problems is it blocked all my
new user notifications as well, so that when I added a new user, they never received
the email. Couldn't find any settings to address this.

From what I can tell your plugin does the following disables plugin updates disables
theme updates disables wordpress core updates disables update notifications. Because
you are disabling the updates the descriptions should be Disable all plugin updates.
Disable all theme updates Disable all WordPress core updates Disable plugins & themes
auto-update email notifications. The description should read This plugin will completely
disable the Plugin, Theme, and WordPress core update notifications. It will also
disable auto-update Email Notifications for Plugins, Themes and WP CORE.
