Is it possible to STOP the 'Upgrade to macOS High Sierra' message that keeps stalking me? Every few days or so I keep getting this notification:



I always click on Details but there is no option to stop this from stalking me again.

And I’ve tried System Preferences > Notifications and nothing there stops it, nor does changing the App Store preferences.

Is there a way to stop this? Please tell me there is and how.
Yes, this is possible. The safest option is to just move the OSXNotification.bundle file from the /Library/Bundles/ folder. You can do this either by using Terminal or from within the Finder.
Via Terminal
To stop notifications via Terminal, follow these steps:

Launch the Terminal app (by default it's located in the Utilities folder within your Applications folder)

Copy and paste the following command into your Terminal window:
sudo mv /Library/Bundles/OSXNotification.bundle ~/Documents/

Press Enter

When prompted, enter your password and press Enter again


The above steps are safe. The command at Step 2 simply moves the OSXNotification.bundle file from the the /Library/Bundles/ folder to your Documents folder. This means you can also undo this at any time with these steps:

Launch the Terminal app

Copy and paste the following command into your Terminal window:
sudo mv ~/Documents/OSXNotification.bundle /Library/Bundles/

Press Enter

When prompted, enter your password and press Enter again


Via the Finder
If you're not comfortable using Terminal, you can do the same thing via the Finder as follows:

Make sure you have the Finder active
Go to the Go menu and select the Go to Folder option
In the field that appears enter the following path: /Library/Bundles/
In the window that appears look for the OSXNotification.bundle file and move it to your Documents folder (or another folder if you prefer)

NOTES:

You could also delete the file, but moving it will stop these notifications while giving you the flexibility to activate them again in future should you desire.
The above steps will also work for older versions of macOS / OS X. However, the /Library/Bundles/ folder no longer exists from macOS High Sierra and beyond.
