Mac OS Catalina update notification (RED DOT)

Hi, yesterday, I updated my OS, from Mojave to Catalina. After doing so, I noticed the system preferences keeps showing an Update available. But the red dot doesn't seem to go away. I doesn't affects in any way, but it is very annoying. Any Help?


Thanks

Try closing Software Update, then remove /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preferences.softwareupdate.plist. Reboot the computer.
