How do I stop 'Required managed update' pop-up on Mac?

Each morning when I log on in the top right corner I get a pop up - REQUIRED MANAGED UPDATE. This happened in 2023. How do I stop it from occurring?

This is probably because your Mac is enrolled in an MDM system. Mobile device management. Can be a company it belongs/belonged to.


Go to system settings > privacy & security > profiles.


See what’s there, and if you can remove it. You’ll most likely need a password, so contact the company, or whoever’s profile your Mac is enrolled to and ask them to remove your Mac.


Or just accept the update.


Good luck, I hope this proves helpful.
