Red dot showing in the software update icon but already updated
I just updated my Macbook to the latest version of Mac OS: Catalina 10.15.4.
However, I noticed that in the system preferences, there is a red dot on the software update icon, but after clicking it, it says it is already up to date...
So I want to know why it is here and how can I get rid of the red dot?
Thanks in advance!
Fortunately, after upgrading to 10.15.5, the red dot disappears...
Solution 1:
defaults delete com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs; killall Dock
This can get rid of it but it will return.
Solution 2:
Try running softwareupdate -ia
in terminal to force it to realise it's got them all / install any you may have missed.
