 * This looks great, nice interface, but unfortunately it does have a habit of disabling
   random plugins on update. Yoast SEO, structured data, and many more have all 
   been deactivated randomly when using this Tested across multiple sites, does 
   hte same thing for nearly all of them.

 * Hi,
 * Please do post in the support forum if you’re having trouble, so that someone
   can give you advice: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/stops-core-theme-and-plugin-updates/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/stops-core-theme-and-plugin-updates/).
 * This plugin has no code to de-activate or activate plugins, or even, to update
   them. That’s not how it, or WordPress updates, work. This plugin’s role in updates
   is only to answer “yes” or “no” when WordPress core says “there’s an update available,
   shall I run it?”. If the actual automatic updates themselves aren’t done properly,
   100% of that code is in WordPress core. If you’re able to update your review 
   that would be much appreciate.
 * David

 * I’m sure David, but an update via easy updates does indeed appear to deactivate
   plugins. Whether directly or via a conflict with another plugin. I’ve watched
   as it happens via the force updates button. I’ve used it recently on several 
   sites, and have only noticed the random disabling of plugins since this.
 * I have since replaced the plugin with another on certain sites, so i’ll see what
   happens. If the ones without the plugin work fine, and the others with the plugin
   continue to get disabled, i’ll let you know.
