Now those aren't plugins, but if we go to plugins here, we can switch on enable auto-updates per plugin. So, if you don't, if you have one that you don't want to update, then don't click it.
So, enable auto-updates for kismet and notice that it changed to disabled instead of enabling. So, I can click it again and it enables cook it again as disabled.
