Advanced SilentKnight: updating macOS and avoiding updates

If you didn’t want to install that macOS update, there is a way that you can now persuade Software Update to forget that it has been downloaded and is waiting, ready to install. This is most useful if you didn’t intend updating macOS, and now want to undo the process.

Shut your Mac down, then start it up in Safe mode. Leave it there for a minute or so, then restart it back into normal mode. Those uninstalled updates should now have been flushed, and Software Update is back to where it started.

---------

Note: Though included in the post to which I'm replying, I'm highlighting it again here because it's important. Apple bugs have installed macOS Sonoma and other updates in that OS, by 'accident,' so this is a way to recover from that issue should it occur with Sequoia.

For you brave souls willing to install Sequoia out of the gate, we salute you!
