FYI, this is now reported on both Arch and Neon, with several dozen duplicates in this bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411286
Looks like a very serious regression to me...

I've checked in Autostart and Background Services in System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown and in system tray settings. I had system updates disabled in 5.16.5 by clearing the checkbox for updates in System Tray Settings -> General -> Extra Items but that checkbox is no longer there. I had packagekit installed from previous trials so uninstalled it. Although I am no longer actively notified of system updates by Discover, 'Updates' still appears on the system tray Status and Notifications panel that appears when clicking on the system tray up-arrow and the tool tip shows System up to date, even when it is not. The update notification comes from DiscoverNotifier but I haven't been able to see where such a service is activated, including in systemd. Discover system updates is unusable in an Arch system. It suppresses pacman feedback and pollutes the pacman.log with countless [PACKAGEKIT] synchronizing package lists messages. Is there a way to truly disable this service?
