YellowLab Stop Core Emails adds a focused settings page under Settings > Stop Core Emails, where administrators can disable selected native WordPress email notifications.
You can manage email notifications for:
<ul>
<li>automatic plugin updates</li>
<li>automatic theme updates</li>
<li>automatic WordPress core updates</li>
<li>available core update notices</li>
<li>new user notifications sent to administrators</li>
<li>user password changes</li>
<li>password change notices sent to administrators</li>
<li>user email address changes</li>
<li>site administrator email address changes</li>
<li>new comments</li>
<li>comments waiting for moderation</li>
<li>critical error and recovery mode messages</li>
</ul>
The plugin does not block updates, user actions, comments, or recovery features. It only disables the selected email notifications.
After activation, open Settings > Stop Core Emails or use the Settings link on the Plugins screen.

This plugin adds some options to your Settings > General page, letting you specify how auto-upgrades should function, without the need to specify constants or add filters by hand.

Update Control

Auto update WP core -> work!
Auto update themes -> work!
Auto update plugins -> work!

but...

Auto update self hosted plugins -> work only one! (Manual update by hand also work only one, i don't know why.)
Auto update self hosted themes -> work only one! (Manual update by hand also work only one, i don't know why.)

---------------

Auto update core send email -> work!
Auto update plugins/themes send email -> not working! (Is its default functional to not sending email from these type of update?)

Work as expect.

Cool

This adds some options to your Settings > General page that let you tweak auto-updates.
