Tim Davis shares Joomla maintenance tips.
Learning from a Glitch:

In Joomla 3 and 4, update notifications were managed by a plugin.

Reasons to Disable Notifications:
You might disable notifications if someone else manages updates, you use a service like mysites.guru, or are active in the Joomla community.
Joomla 5 Scheduled Tasks:
Joomla 5 uses a scheduled task to trigger the update notification plugin.
This task runs every 24 hours by default.
Disabling the Scheduled Task:
Go to System
-> Scheduled Tasks
and disable the task to stop email notifications.
Disabling the Plugin:
You can also disable the plugin directly via System
-> Plugins
.
Ensures the task won't run if the plugin is disabled.
Customizing Notifications:
The update notification task allows customization, including recipient, priority, frequency, and manual triggers.
Conclusion and Bug Notice:
Minor bug where the task seems to complete even if the plugin is disabled.
