That means you’re either using a plugin to disable automatic updates, or you have defined the AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED constant in the wp-config.php file: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#disable-wordpress-auto-updates
We strongly recommend automatic updates, as they often contain security fixes: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/news/category/security/
This is why Health Check is reporting it as a problem.

Are you saying the PHP version is 7.3 and the WP version is 5.2.2?
That is good; it is the latest for each.
I am now getting the same error
I do not know how to edit the wp-config.php and have never touched it.
how do I find out if some plugin is managing that?
or other ways to correct the issue?

Follow the guide linked to in the earlier reply.

Did you install a plugin to manage how updates are run?
