Step 2: Apply Fixes for Windows 10. The CnCNet patch is the essential community update for Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge. It contains many bug fixes and makes the game compatible with the latest versions of Windows. Note: Yuri's Revenge must be installed for Red Alert 2 to work with CnCNet. Download and install the CnCNet Launcher.
Apple is persistent about software updates. Since the updates are free, it’s not exactly a monetary motivation, though newer versions of macOS have an increasing number of services, like the new TV app in Catalina, which inherits previous features from iTunes and will allow Apple TV+ subscriptions when they arrive.
Many people simply aren’t ready for macOS 10.15 Catalina, and may be waiting for a “dot one” release—10.15.1—or for “never.” How can you prevent a persistent update reminder and badge? It involves some command-line instructions.
Warning!
- I want to play the old game called Red Alert 1. I have heard that it is a fantastic game. But i got some questions about it: 1. Is Red Alert free? Where can i get it legally? Is there any way i can make it run on my Mac without installing Windows? Thanks for the help!

Whenever you work at the command line, you need to enter instructions exactly and it’s best to have a current complete backup before you start just in case.
Warning!
Disabling notification of updates can mean that you miss important security updates for your current version of macOS. Keep aware of other updates if you pursue this course.
How to stop the Catalina update reminders
Apple replicates many of its utilities that appear with graphical interfaces in macOS as terminal commands. That includes Software Update. Follow these steps to halt reminders and remove the red badge from System Preferences showing an update.
Launch System Preferences and click Software Update.
Click Advanced.
Uncheck the first three boxes: Check for Updates, Download New Updates When Available, and Install macOS Updates.
Click OK.
Now launch Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
Enter the following commands below, copying each line and pasting it, then pressing Return at the end.
sudo softwareupdate --ignore 'macOS Catalina'
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs 0
killall Dock
The first item disable updates for macOS Catalina; the second and third prevent the red badge in System Preferences and restart the Dock (without affecting the rest of your system) to reset the state of the System Preferences icon.
The red badge will return, however, every time macOS checks for updates. Opening the Software Update preference can trigger that check, which then causes the badge to reappear!
If you’d like to get updates that include macOS Catalina, return to the Terminal and enter this command, followed by Return:
sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored
