Hi - thanks for the bug report!

It looks like you may have a modified /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-
upgrades file. Possibly because you upgraded from an earlier release?

I'll attach the file from one of my pristine 16.04 machines. Can you
adjust yours to match and see if it fixes things for you?

Title:
  Auto update frequency isn't proper

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  With Ubuntu 16.04:

  I suspect that security updates aren't installed immediately:

  The file "/var/log/apt/history.log" shows that "/usr/bin/unattended-upgrade" is executed every 2-3 days.
  By reading the "Software Updater" app/GUI I see that there are security updates available which weren't installed.

  In "Software & Updates", under the "Updates" tab:
  The field "When there are security updates: " is set to the value "Download and install automatically".
  Also all checkboxes at the top (below "Install updates from: ") are checked (with a V ).

  Note that the file "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades"
  contains only comments (lines starting with "//").

  Version of unattended-upgrades: 0.90ubuntu0.2
