Does what it says. No fluff

Excellent

This plugin is useful to stop you from accidentally updating a plugin that fails when updated. Please can you bring it up to WP6.2?

Does not work

After I installed it, then selected the plugin to block, it still shows the plugin needing an update in the update screen.
