 > Hiya, and welcome to trac @airamerica !

 > My first thought is that this is likely caused by a plugin or theme
 conflict, I would encourage you to try the update with plugins disabled
 and a default theme (such as Twenty Twenty), you can read more about
 troubleshooting in the [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-
 first-wordpress-5-3-master-list/#post-12124044 Support teams post for
 WordPress 5.3].

 > As for this ticket, I think it would make sense to make sure the fatal
 error handling doesn't trigger on plugin/theme updates, since they may
 temporarily "fail" while files are moved around for example, but work find
 once the update completes and a page is reloaded, especially if the
 critical error doesn't affect the site it self, so the email sent would
 just be confusing to the recipient.

 Could not agree more! 57 sites using different themes and plugins had same
 issue. Gave me a chance to go through wp logs and clean up allot of errors
 while rolling back to 5.3...

 Do my own server administration and immediately thought server configs and
 logs... Upgrade to 10.3.21-MariaDB and using PHP 7.3 (ea-php73) handler by
 default....

 Also wanted to note that sites work fine with existing plugins and themes.
 Only issue is you can't update!

 Only reason for this ticket was to report "unusual behavior" and so simple
 thought someone might have a quick solution for the masses of sites
 affected. After holidays will figure out...
 First time I have posted on this forum... Thumbs up for reply...
