WordPress core keeps updating despite being disabled

I am running WordPress 5.6.2 with the BulletProof Security plugin and WordPress keeps updating despite having updates disabled in my wp-config.php via the following code:

define( ‘AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED’, true );

The code is just below the database table prefix to make sure it is one of the first things to execute.

I also installed the “Easy Update Manager” plugin to see if that would work but still no luck and hosting says it isn’t anything on their end.

Is there anything in the Bulletproof Security plugin that might be causing interference with this?

Thank you!
