Disable wordpress update on wp-admin dashboard

Question

I am looking for a feature where i can bake in my code itself that wordpress update can be disabled from wordpress UI. I dont want to use any plugin definitely dont want to stop wordpress core security updates as well. Do we know if there is any other option like flywheel (which is a wordpress service) doesn't show wordpress core update on wordpress wp-admin pannel

Create a menu item using add_menu_page() function. In it there will be a parameter that asks for the function to be called when this menu is clicked. You can simply create a form on the page with a button like:

<input type="submit" name="disable_update">

and the code php will be like

PHP Code:
if(isset($_POST['disable_update'])){
 disable_updates();
}
    
function disable_updates() {
 define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false ); 
}

Note: Use POST as method for the form
