   If you have 24.04 (may work for earlier versions) you can install dconf   
   editor   
      
   sudo apt install dconf-editor   
      
   Then start Dconf   
      
   Go to /com/ubuntu/update-notifier   
      
   Toggle no-show-notifications to true   
      
   That said, I think you should update your system, and it is bad practice   
   not to do so. I would routinely check for updates, and it is simple to   
   make a simple shell script to do so and make a cron job to run when "off   
   hours". Or install cron-apt for a pre-canned option.   
      
   sudo apt install cron-apt
