    Hi Megan,

     

    Thank you very much for your response.

     

    I'm sorry, I don't know what happened but that message has not been displayed again and the update was not installed. That's exactly what I was looking for: stop getting the message without having to install the update.

     

    I hope it doesn't happen again.

     

    Regards.

Hey lxblanco, welcome to our Community! 

 

I'm afraid there's no way to avoid receiving this pop-up, but let's check together.

 

When did this start happening? Would you mind sending me a screenshot of the notification that you received on your Mac device, in order for me to have a visual? 

 

Keep me posted!
