Can't run apt update because apt-config is running in the background
I can't update my system anymore because some variation of apt-config is running in the background. 'ps aux | grep apt' shows one of the following two constantly running in the background. Also I can't kill these programs because the PID is constantly changing. Also another note, a user called '_apt' seems to be running these programs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

From the man apt-config page:
apt-config is an internal program used by various portions of the APT suite to provide
consistent configurability. It accesses the main configuration file /etc/apt/apt.conf in a
manner that is easy to use for scripted applications.
Therefore, you should find out the parent process of each apt-config process.
Do
for i in $( pgrep apt-config ) ; do ps -fp$i; done
and look at the PPID column.

unattended-upgrades runs apt-daily and apt-daily runs apt-config. You can disable automatic updates by running the following commands:
sudo sed -i 's/1/0/g' /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades
sudo sed -i 's/1/0/g' /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10perodic
source:
wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades
On Debian, the periodic file is not the same:
sudo sed -i 's/1/0/g' /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02perodic
