It's for these kinds of situations that there is a background task that pops alerts up through the taskbar to let people know there's updates waiting (if you want to use it). It does have some elevated privileges.Yes, and I have never liked its functionality but put up with it because I couldn't figure out how to disable it, although until now I didn't know that what I don't like about it is being brought about by the nature of the update repositories potentially. What I didn't like with it was it pops up a message about updates being available and when I look at what it is saying, it is notifying about updates for the packages I have already just put on via DNF.You can just remove it. I only ever use dnf so the GUI updater just gets in the way.
