Hi, after the update to Monterey 12.4, I'm noticing additional (don't recall seeing these before) unwelcome or annoying update notifications. Is there any way to turn these off?
Thanks!

Well those could be the additional sub-updates, now available
once you've updated to higher base number within Monterrey.
Because those notices are directed to the System itself. Though
those appear by a browser; a few may apply to both categories.
Some fixes and updates for the system should be entertained.
However other users, with similar hardware version Mac, could
have found issues, or set-backs once newer bits were added.
Security updates? As these new systems evolve in real time
get additional update/upgrades; and some may be critical.
Given your macOS is much newer than my old hardware,
that's something to learn and research, before installing.

Annoying why?
If they bother you, all I can suggest is that you add keyboard shortcuts for these commands. For example, I added Command-Option-Control-comma
as a shortcut for System Preferences and now I never access from the Apple menu.
It's usually a very good to take advantage of AppStore notifications. They keep your system up-to-date for various reasons: security, productivity, cosmetic pleasantness and etc.
Essentially, they're there to help protect your Mac and its various apps as well as maybe make them work better.
Thanks, yeah I try to update apps and the OS pretty frequently or as time permits with my business etc. Just not a big fan of double notifications since I can already see them at a glance with the app badges.
There have also been times, like with older Macs when it would be a bad idea to update to the latest OS and the notifications never go away. I just like to be in charge of the notifications I see, if that makes sense.
Haha I'm not sure. Maybe because I'm OCD, and it feels like my computer is giving me work to do or something.
