System updates on Macs, sometimes something unwanted

One of the things I like the most about Macs is that their system, macOS is a system that is always subject to periodic updates by Apple, which can be put to sea whenever we want and that we will leave a morning without working because he himself decides to update himself as has happened to me with some other system that is better not to talk about.

The fact is that this way of operating macOS in which we have the possibility of scheduling our updates or simply not doing them until we see fit, may have an aspect against And it is that we will have in the notification center days yes and days also a reminder so that the system is updated. 

However, as we have already explained in more than one article, the Mac system can be configured beyond what the graphical interface allows, so we can force the system not to drive us crazy with so much notification so that update to MacOS High Sierra 10.13. But now you may wonder ... Why don't you want to upgrade to the new system? There are many answers to that question, and in my case I have some Macs in which I want to continue keeping a certain version of their operating system, others in which I have applications that They do not support new versions and in which I write that if I am interested in being up-to-date in software. 

As you can see, I myself have several cases in which I may or may not want to update my Mac's system and therefore, there are times that the simple fact that the reminder that I must update is continually coming up bothers me.

If you want to deactivate this mode of operation, you can do so by deleting a simple file, but be careful that once deleted the system will never ask. In order to disable the system reminding you that you have to update to macOS High Sierra 10.13: 

  • Finder> Go> Go to Folder> / Library / Bundles /
  • We delete the file: OSXNotification.bundle

    He is going to leave us one morning without work because he himself decides to update himself as has happened to me with some other system that is better not to talk about.

    Total objectivity ... you know little or nothing about this system if you do not know that it can also be programmed to install them when you want or postpone them ... they will only be installed when you decide .... because I NEVER, with that system, updating it when he wants, has left me lying around all morning, even taking just a couple of minutes updating, unless it is a major system improvement or a new version, which takes the same time as macos takes in updating ... so before speaking, you inform yourself

      Good Toni, thanks for your contribution, but you know like me, that this other system does not do things the way macOS does, although if you have not had the experience with the latter, I invite you to follow us. All the best.

    Nerd soy de Mac, but I have to put up with it for the company I work for. And it's a shame that every 2 weeks or so, they update macOS. I looked for how to deactivate the issue and I came across your page. I have tried to follow your instructions, but nothing at all. It will be because they are already going for macOS Big Sur. Still, thanks for your advice.
