Disable Software Updater Notification?
I run apt update and upgrade every week, yet I keep getting a nag screen from the software updater. How do I disable this notification?
Or does apt not update and upgrade everything installed on my system?

apt updateupdates your software repository lists (so your system knows what software is available).apt upgradeupgrades packages from that list within certain limitations, so NO it doesn't upgrade all packages. It allows you to delay reboots etc. until you decide to allow kernel or version bump changes when you choose to performapt dist-upgradeorapt full-upgrade. Seeman aptfor more details.

I assume that you opened the program "Software & Updates", looked at the Updates tab, and choose "Never" for "Automatically check for updates"? This cut the frequency down for me, but I also had to disable the apt daily services:
In a terminal enter the commands
sudo systemctl disable apt-daily.service apt-daily-upgrade.service
sudo systemctl disable apt-daily.timer apt-daily-upgrade.timer
Your manual updates (sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade) will work as normal, but the apt system will not automatically look about for new updates.

apt upgrade upgrades packages from that list within certain limitations, so NO it doesn't upgrade all packages. It allows you to delay reboots etc. until you decide to allow the upgrades that may force changes affecting the stability of currently running software/system, allowing you to choose when these are applied using apt full-upgrade
from man apt
upgrade (apt-get(8))
upgrade is used to install available upgrades of all packages currently installed on
the system from the sources configured via sources.list(5). New packages will be
installed if required to statisfy dependencies, but existing packages will never be
removed. If an upgrade for a package requires the remove of an installed package the
upgrade for this package isn't performed.
full-upgrade (apt-get(8))
full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove currently installed
packages if this is needed to upgrade the system as a whole.
Charles Green's answer covers the nag screens, I've chosen to cover only the 'upgrade' part of your question.
