Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 In my testing, setting the `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE` constant does affect the
 WordPress Updates screen. For example, if I set it to `false`, this
 message is displayed:
 > `This site will not receive automatic updates for new versions of
 WordPress.`

 Note that by design, the constant only controls
 [https://wordpress.org/support/article/configuring-automatic-background-
 updates/ automatic background updates], it does not affect manual updates.
 For the latter, you may want to look into other options, e.g. overriding
 the `update_core` user capability or the transient of the same name using
 the `pre_site_transient_update_core` filter, as suggested in
 [https://jasonjalbuena.com/disable-wordpress-update-notifications/ some
 articles].
