The following CSOM C# code for your reference.

Web web = context.Web;
var list=web.Lists.GetByTitle("CustomList");
context.Load(list);
context.ExecuteQuery();
var workflowServicesManager = new WorkflowServicesManager(context, context.Web);
var workflowSubscriptionService = workflowServicesManager.GetWorkflowSubscriptionService();
// get all workflow associations
var workflowAssociations = workflowSubscriptionService.EnumerateSubscriptionsByList(list.Id);
context.Load(workflowAssociations);
context.ExecuteQuery();
var wf = workflowAssociations[0];
List<string> eventTypes = new List<string>() { "WorkflowStart" };
wf.EventTypes = eventTypes;
workflowSubscriptionService.PublishSubscriptionForList(wf, list.Id);                
var listitem = list.GetItemById(1);
listitem["Title"] = DateTime.Now.ToString();
listitem.SystemUpdate();
context.ExecuteQuery();
eventTypes = new List<string>() { "WorkflowStart", "ItemUpdated" };//ItemUpdated
wf.EventTypes = eventTypes;
workflowSubscriptionService.PublishSubscriptionForList(wf, list.Id);
context.ExecuteQuery();
