Taken from WordPress' Configuring Automatic Background Updates
By default, automatic background updates only happen for plugins and themes in special cases, as determined by the WordPress.org API response, which is controlled by the WordPress security team for patching critical vulnerabilities. To enable or disable updates in all cases, you can leverage the auto_update_$type filter, where $type would be replaced with "plugin" or "theme".
When these features are enabled, Total Upkeep will add auto_update_plugin and auto_update_theme filters so that any plugin that has an update available will update.
Before WordPress does any auto updates, it fires the pre_auto_update hook. If the user has the Auto Backup Before Updates option enabled, then a backup will occur before the auto update.
Auto Rollback is the feature within the Total Upkeep plugin that recommends making updates before performing any updates. If you disable this feature, then Total Upkeep will not recommend updates.
Example notice:
