Windows 10: New Unwanted system icon in Notification Bar

Yesterday a new icon appeared in my notification area. It's a little window with a red exclamation point in it. Hovering reveals: "Your device is missing important updates. Select this icon for more information." Clicking (or right-clicking) offers two options: 1) Check for updates or 2) Open Windows Updates. I don't want either.

Is there a way to make this disappear?

I have blocked updates with Stop Updates vers 2.0.34
Windows version 1809 (17763.194)
