And here is the *current* settings which *have been active* while I've
got that dialog window ( on the previous attachment:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/413195181/update-manager-screenshot-with-
ignored-settings.png ) with notification about updates, in the
attachment.

In fact, while I've got that window popped-up, the (probably?) related
systemd services & timers *have been disabled* (by `mask') as well,
manually, by me, a couple of days ago. Here is the current state of
them:

$ sudo systemctl status apt-daily.service
● apt-daily.service
   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)
$ sudo systemctl status apt-daily.timer
● apt-daily.timer
   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)
Warning: apt-daily.timer changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to 
reload units.
$ sudo systemctl status apt-daily-upgrade.service
● apt-daily-upgrade.service
   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)
$ sudo systemctl status apt-daily-upgrade.timer
● apt-daily-upgrade.timer
   Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
   Active: inactive (dead)
Warning: apt-daily-upgrade.timer changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' 
to reload units.
$

I didn't have time to learn what and how they do so I just disable them
(by `sudo systemctl mask') since I prefer to control update maintenance
completely by myself, when it's convenient for my time and not PC's
time. I thought that it should be enough but I was really surprised that
it didn't do the trick. The next step will be wiping everything which is
related to apt/update from /etc/cron.* directories.

P.S. I really don't and just can't understand why `Software Updater' has
nearly the same `design' and `usability experience' just like Windows 10
update service nowadays, with a complete ignore of user settings,
preferences, focus and time.
