DigitalOcean VM - In Ubuntu (16.04.2) I used the “dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades” command, but I get this return “update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults”

1- How do I fix this issue so updates install automatically?  
2- How do I install updates manually for Ubuntu manually when automatic updates aren’t working or just to make sure everything is up to date?
