I recently started using macos for work. I'm on sierra and every day I get pestered about upgrading to high sierra. Every day I also read a new reason not to do that. Is there any way I can turn it off?

  You might also want to check and remove the over 4GB "Install High Sierra" app" which might have downloaded to your Mac in the background.

  Is there a way to just disable the High Sierra notification? I'd still like to be automatically notified of point releases / security updates to Sierra.

      thanks, I have the same request / reasons. don't want to miss out on fixes for the inevitable critical vulnerabilities that turn up in Sierra. On a side-note, is there anything about high-sierra that's a notable improvement over sierra?

      Ahh, that solves the mystery (but thanks for Whirlpool!) I had you confused with the Sydney-based simon-wright.com. Thanks for the tip and the LMGTFY! That did the trick :)
