Update Manager automatically checks for updates no matter the configuration

[myfirstnameispaul]

Describe the bug
No matter how the Update Manager is configured, it checks for updates very regularly all day long.

Screenshots

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure Update manager Auto-Refresh options as desired, even disabled.
2. Wait
3. Observe update notifications that do not align to configured settings

Expected behavior
Update notifications in alignment with Auto-Refresh configuration

Distribution:

• [x ] Linux Mint

Software version:
7.1.4

Logs:

2026.07.18@08:01 ++ Launching Update Manager
2026.07.18@08:01 ++ Initial refresh will happen in 0 day(s), 0 hour(s) and 10 minute(s)
2026.07.18@08:01 ++ Inhibited power management
2026.07.18@08:01 ++ Checking for updates

2026.07.18@08:01 ++ Refresh finished
2026.07.18@08:01 ++ Resumed power management

Additional context
It can take several days to confirm the bug as observation requires updates to be available (i.e., if it is checking more frequently than configured, but no updates are available, then new updates available notification cannot appear).
