 * Hi, I set Development Updates (Core) off for automatic updates. But my site just
   updated to WP 5.0. How did that happen?
 * This is what I got:
    Howdy! Your site at [https://strategictechinvestor.com/acq](https://strategictechinvestor.com/acq)
   has been updated automatically to WordPress 5.0.

 * Hi,
 * By default, WordPress won’t automatically update across major versions (4.9 to
   5.0). That means that you have something *else* in your hosting setup (a plugin,
   or something done by the web host) to over-ride that. EUM can only control the
   default setting; the innards of how WP works means it can’t force something else
   that is determined to do the update to stop.
