We currently have OSX 10.15 Catalina restricted for end users to install. It is setup in the Restricted Software section and has been working. However clients still will get the popup that an update is available. Some users run the update only to get the message that we currently have it restricted.

Is there a way to prevent the popup for updates to OSX 10.15.x? We would still want users the capability to run updates on 10.14.x so we do not want to disable the popup all together.

Running this command will stop the update from showing up, as well as stop the popups

sudo softwareupdate --ignore "macOS Catalina" macOSInstallerNotification_GM

This will clear the ignore list when you want to install it.

sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored
