 * I am running wordpress on an internal server .. but it is still showing that 
   I have updates ( wordpress and themes ) that I need to install.
 * I do not need to install these updates and if I do I will do it manually.
 * How can I fix this so it does not check for updates at all?
 * I already added this to wp-config but it didnt help it is still checking for 
   updates.
 *     ```
       define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
       define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
       ```
   
 * thanks

 * Disabling the auto-updater doesn’t mean that it won’t check for updates. It simply
   will not auto-install them. It will continue to check for updates and continue
   to offer the one-click installer method for them as needed.
 * Not checking for updates means that you might miss out on security notifications
   for plugins and themes and the like.

 * I’m actually ok with that. This is not being severed to the public only for me.
   So security is not a concern.
 * I can always manually update if I need to.

 * [Core Control](https://wordpress.org/plugins/core-control/) still works nicely
   for me on the current version of WordPress.
