Software Update Notification Does Not Go Away

[jazzer15]

I updated to Catalina yesterday from Mojave. After the update I am still getting a notification badge that an update is required and in the "apple" menu next to system preferences it says "1 update". However, under software update in system preferences it says that my mac is up to date and is running Catalina 10.15.4. Is there a way to clear the update notice?

EDIT: Apologies. Seems like this is a common problem and there are other threads on this that I have found.

Software update badge appearing even though there are no updates

Ah well, that's a shame. Also, to be clear, I didn't install Xcode; only Command Line Tools via:xcode-select --install
