MacOS: Get Notification System Update How do I get notification that there is an update for the MacOS system? I can find some questions on how to turn it off, but my problem is that it doesn’t appear to notify me at all.

The last update is one I read about. After that, I went to

System Preferences | Software Update


After that I checked manually. On then did I see any notification.

My selected Advanced settings are:


Check for updates
Download new updates …
Install macOS updates
Install system data files …


MacOS 10.14.3
On my iMac I have AppStore app in the dock. Whenever I have a software update, a number appears on the AppStore icon indicating how many updates I have. This applies to System Updates as well. I think that is the only way I'm notified.
