Whenever WordPress performs a core update, it automatically pulls down the following files onto the root:
<ul>
<li><code>license.txt</code></li>
<li><code>readme.html</code></li>
<li><code>wp-config-sample.php</code></li>
</ul>
These files aren’t an inherent security risk by themselves; however they are uneccessary clutter on the root of your site (why would you want a <code>wp-config-sample.php</code> file on your production website?!); and it’s just another easy-to-read vector confirming that you have a WordPress site for script-kiddies to scrape and attack.
Simply install this plugin and it will clean up those files every time you perform a core WordPress update.

This plugin deletes the unnecessary license.txt, readme.html and wp-config-sample.php files after a core update.

Disable Email Notifications for Auto-Updates: 
With the introduction of WordPress 5.5, the auto-update feature was enabled, and email notifications started being sent for every update made. By simply installing this plugin, you can stop receiving these annoying notifications for every auto-update made to plugins, themes, or even the WordPress core. Please note that this plugin will not affect the auto-update feature of WordPress if it is enabled.
Block Specific Plugin Updates: 
In the “Block Plugin Updates” tab, the plugin will list all installed plugins on your website. If there are specific plugins you do not want to update, you can disable updates for those particular plugins.
Block WordPress Core and Theme Updates: 
You also have the option to block updates for the WordPress core and themes. However, this is not recommended for security reasons.
Remove Update Buttons from Admin Panel: 
If you do not want to see the “Updates” menu under the Dashboard, you can easily hide it from the admin panel menu.
Default Settings: 
By default, only the email notification feature is turned on; other settings must be configured manually.
