Unattended Upgrades software helps us auto-update and upgrade system packages in the background without user interaction to keep up to date with the latest features and security patches.

This feature can be a handful to secure your system with the latest security issues, even Ubuntu providing it out of the box with its latest iso.

Unexpected background updates can be irritating for regular Linux users.
