Code:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gnome-software packagekit packagekit-tools

Code:

apt show gnome-software
I *think* that is the "Software & Updates" GUI

but that was configured to not do update/upgrade automagically

can you double check that?

sometimes things need an apply button to be clicked.
but most will warn you if you exit without confirming a change.

I've not used that "Software & Updates" myself in a long time, so not sure how it behaves.

Description: Software Center for GNOME
 Software lets you install and update applications and system extensions.
 .
 Software uses a plugin architecture to separate the frontend from the
 technologies that are used underneath. Currently, a PackageKit plugin provides
 data from a number of traditional packaging systems, such as rpm or apt. An
 appdata plugin provides additional metadata from locally installed data in the
 appdata format.

All updates are turned off in "Software & Updates"

These all problems happened after I upgraded to buster. I moved into linux January. Until then I used windows versions. Every problem I faced, I fixed it somehow in linux. If I faced a problem in windows, most of the time I have to reset my pc. Linux is great. :)

ok

so it goes rogue when ever you reboot?
or about once a day?

if it is every reboot

Code:

sudo apt purge unattended-upgrades
sudo apt purge gnome-software

reboot
and see if things improve

if it does you can either not reinstall

or reinstall
Code:

sudo apt install gnome-software
go into the GUI and turn off the updates

reboot
did problem return?

could be a new bug

Now, if the first uninstall didn't fix it .. it is something else :(
reinstall , reconfigure ..
