 > '''Automatic Updater is disabled'''
 > When using the constant `AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED` or filter
 `automatic_updater_disabled` ([https://wordpress.org/support/article
 /configuring-automatic-background-updates/#configuration-via-filters see
 docs]), the UI shouldn't be present to suggest that automatic updates can
 be enabled. [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/431/commits/92ffb1dabf506442596be0b06343c2d334a42365
 92ffb1da].
 > That has the effect of 100% disabling the automatic updates UI, the
 column isn't shown on the plugins table, etc.
 > Similar to using the `plugins_auto_update_enabled` filter which is
 rather badly and confusingly named (It doesn't enable plugin automatic
 updates, only toggles the UI to manage it)

 This is a very good catch!! and something that escaped us during the
 development of the feature plugin and in the prep for the core merge.

 I would support getting the part of the PR for this into 5.5...if others
 thing it's not too late (with RC1 to be released in a few hours).
