> Could you take a screenshot/photo from one of those notifications?

I will once I will get some (now my system is updated currently so it
doesn't have unattended updates, therefore I'm not getting any
notifications about available updates for now).

But in general it looks just like this: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-

Title:
  update-manager ignores its own settings completely

  Steps to reproduce:

  - Run `update-manager' manually, via `update-manager' from a terminal for example
  - Press "Settings..." button
  - Configure the following settings to hide all update-manager's pop-ups respectively:

  Automatically check for updates: Never
  When there are security updates: <blank>
  When there are other updates: Display every two weeks
  Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: Never

  - Close settings
  - Exit `update-manager'

  ----
  Expected behaviour:

  - update-manager won't be checking any updates at all
  - but even if there are some "other updates" then it must be displayed not more often than "every two weeks"

  ----
  Actual behaviour:

  - update-manager checks for updates from time to time by itself
  - update-manager shows notifications *all* *the* *time*: every single day and much more times per day than even twice
  - update-manager keeps to show notifications even if it has been seen & closed manually (just because there wasn't time for maintenance window currently, for example)
