-----------------------------+-----------------------------
 I haven't caught this yesterday during the release party testing, but on a
 number of websites I checked - both 5.5 stable and 5.6-alpha, the UI for
 the auto-updates disappears.

 Adding


 {{{
 // Enable all plugin auto-updates.
 add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_true' );

 // Enable all theme auto-updates.
 add_filter( 'auto_update_theme', '__return_true' );
 }}}


 As per instructions in the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/15
 /controlling-plugin-and-theme-auto-updates-ui-in-wordpress-5-5 related
 dev-note] works, but it shouldn't be needed since the majority of end-
 users should not need to work modify wp-config.php
