Temporary Solution #1. Swipe to Ignore the Notification

This is a temporary fix; once you see a notification banner, swipe right on it to ignore it for a few hours. If there an update waiting in the App Store, you need to perform this action once or twice a day.

Temporary Solution #2. Disable Notification Center for the Day

If you want to avoid that Notification reminder for entire day, this is the best solution for you. Whenever you see any software update, just click on 'Later' and then choose 'Remind Me Tomorrow'. But be prepared to face the same update next day and day after and so on. You can use this solution if you are in hurry to complete a task.

Temporary Solution #3. Do Not Disturb

This again is a temporary fix but the only advantage of this method is that you can stay ahead of notifications. Toggle Do Not Disturb option ON from notification center; this not only hides the update notification but all of them in general. Next day, you have to follow the same procedure to manually turn on to disable notifications. Click on System Preferences → Notifications → Turn On Notifications.

Schedule Do Not Disturb

If you don't like the idea of enabling Do Not Disturb every day, you can schedule a process. Click on System Preferences, then go to Notifications, where you find Do Not Disturb as first option on left panel. On the right panel, you can see Turn on Do Not Disturb option; enter the time during which you want Do Not Disturb enabled.

This will not show any notification between the time period you have selected. The notifications will appear when Do Not Disturb is OFF.

How to Permanently Disable Software Update Notifications on Mac

If you want to get rid of daily update pop-ups, go for this solution.

Step #1. Go to System Preferences.

Step #2. Click on App Store. Now uncheck the box next to 'Automatically check for updates'. To check for updates, now on go to Mac App Store; but this should not be a matter to you as you can save yourself from those irritating software update messages.

Update Software

This one is the best option that beats all above solutions. This will save your Mac from potential threats of bugs; you can enjoy latest features and facilities of specific software and it gives your Mac a smooth run. Either update all software from the notification center or go to the App Store and update each one by one.
