How can I disable the 'Updates Available' notification that is now appearing from system preferences since Sequoia? This was removed after High Sierra and it's pretty disappointing to have to ignore this daily now. Even more frustrating is that it comes back if I just drag it off the screen??
The notification in question:
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.1
Just to stay " On the Specific Issue " as per your below
The Update Sequoia 15.1.1 has already been downloaded - full stop
From my experience - once it has been downloaded, there is no stopping it form attempting it to Install
Am confident, that even if you attempt to shutdown the computer, then too it may or may not attempt the installation
Restart the computer and see what happens
An aside if you permit me
Received a Brand New machine on October 28.
First Boot Up, as in the Out of the Box Experience
Even before I had the chance to Set it Up with my Credentials
Presto, was alerted to an update from Sequoia 15.0 to Sequoia 15.1
I chose Not to update at that time
1 Hour later, there it was
AFAIK - it is asking the User ( you ) to either Update, implied ( Now ), or later tonight
It does offer, both options
It would make sense /
Predicated on user byline " MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.1 "
The current Sequoia its version 15.1.1
I ( me ) don't want to Update ( now ) or later tonight. I'm aware the most current version of macOS is 15.1.1 but I want to choose when I update on my machine. Also, this notification comes up for apps like FCP or SF Symbols, not just macOS updates so it's been fairly frequent (and annoying).
And I've had those settings off since the new system update UI came out a few release cycles ago. I also can't find an installer anywhere on my machine like is normally the case when I download an update but don't install. So, I think it isn't downloaded and doesn't have any automatic updates/downloads enabled. Yet, I'm getting this notification and would like to disable it.
You can try for the future >> System Setting >> General >> Software Update >> Automatic Updates
Turn OFF those setting you do Not What
I do already have those off, which is I think why I'm getting the notification.
Disable 'Updates Available' Notification
