Thanks for the info Gerry. The reason I became aware of this in the first place was that my site health status gave a critical issue stating that automatic updates were disabled. Also, every time there was an update released for WP/themes/plugins, I got notified they were available, and had to manually run the updates. So it would appear that Hostinger is not running the updates when enabled in hpanel. I ended up manually updating the PHP file created by hpanel and changing the setting to allow automatic updates. So far they appear to be functioning normally.
