Thanks for your reply, Keith.

I'm sorry if my original question is ambiguous.

Here's what I wish to happen:

1. My OS stops downloading software and security updates silently in the 
background. It's called automatic downloads, am I right? I wish it to stop.

2. Debian stops giving me notifications that there are software updates

available for download.

I have removed/deleted 50unattended-upgrades. It's obvious that such an

action hasn't achieved its goals; hence my original post.

In my system using the GUI I have System/Control Centre If I open that I see 'Software and Updates'

On the updates tab I have none of the option boxes ticked.

The system pops up warnings on the GUI but no automatic download and install
