Check out the documentation:

User-initiated updates/upgrades may not run when a templateVM first starts. This is due to a new Debian config setting that attempts to update automatically; it can be disabled with systemctl disable apt-daily.timer.
Wow how did I miss that.
Danke

"User-initiated updates/upgrades may not run when a templateVM first starts. This is due to a new Debian config setting that attempts to update automatically; it can be disabled with systemctl disable apt-daily.timer"
But as a rookie I am unsure of the specific terminal steps in my template. Any chance I can ask the Qubes community for help on the specific terminal commands to get this accomplished?
I would truly appreciate the help...thank you and thank you Qubes!
