On: What the Hell Was the Microsoft Network? (2018)

[CJefferson]

My Mac settings app has a permenent "1 notification" red dot, because I haven't logged my Apple ID in, and every so often (about once a month), a notification pops up to remind me to log my Apple ID in.

I'd love to learn how to get rid of those.

Ah, right, I forgot about these.

Question - is it because you didn’t add any apple ID, or that you added it but didn’t log in?

I remember MacOS prodding me the same way even with non-apple accounts when I added them but had expired passwords.

If it’s that then you can go to the „accounts” preference and remove all the accounts. Perhaps it will help.
