There is a badge on Software Update in System Preferences. When I go to update macOS from there it says macOS is up to date. I'm on 10.15.4. Is there a way to clear the badge, but allow it to appear when necessary?

Delete this file then restart.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preferences.softwareupdate.plist
Thank you so much, this has made it go away, been irritating me for ages!
welcome.
Bless you! that worked!
Of course :)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preferences.softwareupdate.plist
While in the Finder, press "command shift G", paste the above line into the window that opens and press Return. It will highlight the file for deletion.
I am having the same issue, when I search in finder for that file you listed above it does not find such a file. What am I doing wrong or do you have another suggestion?
