I barely use "Ubuntu software" for the update.
I do all the updates from the terminal.

But whenever I visit Ubuntu Software, it annoys me a lot by showing me these pop-up messages again and again.

As if it's asking me to not use Ubuntu Software, like never.

Sorry, no idea what the root cause might be.

The error message shown on imgur.com is

Unable to download updates:
failed to refresh cache: E:http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco InRelease is not (yet) available (Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com')

The error message refers to the central repository server. You might consider switching to a different one, either the country server for your country, or a local server in your vicinity.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Compiler for more information if necessary.
