Software update notifications are meant to be a reminder to keep your operating system and apps up to date, but that doesn't mean that they never get annoying. I get a notification telling me to update every day. Not that there's anything wrong with this, but sometimes I'm content with what I have and don't feel the need to update just yet. On autopilot, every single day, I hit 'Remind Me Tomorrow' because I might feel different about updating the next day. But then the next day rolls around, I don't update, and same pattern continues. • Don't Miss: Well, luckily for those of us who easily get annoyed by these notifications, there are several ways of getting rid of software update alerts, both temporarily and permanently.

I reset my Mac with Mac OS High Sierra (10.13.4) and all of a sudden, all my notifications stopped working. The Dock labels would show, sound would be there, yet mysteriously, banners wouldn’t come. Upon checking the notification area, there wasn’t any recent notifications listed at all. Baffling, to say the least. Also, in the suggested questions I found this other question: Can I speed up the auto-dismissal of Notification Center banners? Because I thought it could be a problem related to the time it was too low, I switched it to 5 seconds, logged out and in after doing so, restarted my Mac and still no success.

Method #1: Disable Notification for the Day When It Appears Of all the methods in the guide, this is not only the easiest, but the one I use the most. When an update notification appears, simply click on 'Later,' then on 'Remind Me Tomorrow' to get rid of it.

Use this method if you plan to update, but just don't want to at the moment. Method #2: Disable Notification the Day Before It Appears While this only works to disable the update notification for a single day (like in Method #1), you can get ahead of notifications appearing by turning on, which will not only hide the update notification, but all of them in general. Simply open the Notification Center from the top right of the, click on Notifications, then scroll up to enable Do Not Disturb.

DND will turn off automatically the next day, so you'll have to manually turn it on again to disable notifications. Do Not Disturb will automatically turn on between the time period you selected, disabling any software update notifications along the way. The notification may appear when Do Not Disturb is off (past 10 PM in my example), so turning off your computer when you're finished will prevent that from occurring. Method #4: Disable Notification Permanently With this method, you have a permanent way of getting rid of update notifications so you won't be bothered by daily update alerts. In System Preferences, click on App Store, then uncheck the box next to 'Automatically check for updates.'

This means that you'll now have to go into the Mac App Store to manually check for updates, which isn't a big deal if you're more worried about notifications bugging you.
