How to Turn Off Windows 10 Nag

Are you tired of being bombarded with pesky notifications every time your Ubuntu system needs an update? Look no further! In this article, we will show you how to turn off these annoying reminders and still keep your system up-to-date.

Firstly, it's important to note that disabling the Update Manager is not recommended. However, if you're tired of seeing those nagging notifications every time you start your Ubuntu system, there are a few things you can do to silence them.

To delete configuration and data files of update-manager and its dependencies from Ubuntu, simply run the following command in the terminal: `sudo apt-get autoremove -purge update-manager`. This will remove any unnecessary files and dependencies that are no longer needed.

If you also want to delete configuration and data files of update-manager from Ubuntu, you can use the following command: `sudo apt-get purge update-manager`. This will completely remove the Update Manager package and its dependencies from your system.

To remove just the Update Manager package itself from Ubuntu, run the following command in the terminal: `sudo apt-get remove update-manager`.

If you wish to remove the Update Manager package completely and restore it again later, you can use the following commands:

`sudo apt-get remove update-manager` to remove the package

`sudo apt-get install update-manager` to reinstall the package

To re-enable the Update Manager auto notification on Ubuntu systems, run the following command in the terminal: `gconftool -s -type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch true`.

Alternatively, if you want to disable the Update Manager auto notification on Ubuntu systems, run the following command in the terminal: `gconftool -s -type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false`.

In addition to disabling the Update Manager notifications, you can also remove the update-notifier package from your system using the following command: `sudo apt-get remove update-notifier`.

Please note that this will only remove the graphic way of doing system updates and you will still be able to upgrade your system using commands or Synaptic.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to turn off those annoying Windows 10 nag notifications and keep your Ubuntu system up-to-date in peace.
