Using add_filter ( 'pre_site_transient_update_core', '__return_null' ); slowed down the admin dashboard because it invalidated the transient. Added du_last_checked function to fake last update check which tricks WordPress into thinking the check has happened and nothing needs to be updated.

This plugin does what is says but it doesn't give any choosing option at all. I don't want to disable updates for all plugins.

Found this plugin which provides more flexibility disabling core, updates, and as well gives options to choose for blocking specific plugin updates.
