I need to remove this auto update notification dialog window which is very annoying and scary for public location where people is clicking the system and breaking it down to crash every day.

I tried to remove the Autoupdate notification window with following, but still every single day its showing in the screen and its very annoying like Ubuntu Virus, very disturbing and not respecting privacy, such as i do not want it to ever show, but it keeps showing by force.

Try: sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop

Try: apt-get install dconf-editor
export DISPLAY=:0.0 && dconf-editor
via GUI > go to com->ubuntu->update-notifer-> no-show-notifications and enable it

Try: Disable Auto uploader
$ comment outall /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades 
$ add new line /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";

But still the Auto-Update Notification Dialog window appears. I am unable to remove it for completely.

Edit the configuration at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades to comment out the line:

Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
        "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
//      "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
//      "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-proposed";
//      "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
};

Remove the second line that ends with -security

Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
//      "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
//      "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
//      "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-proposed";
//      "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
};

That should disable automatic updates since there is no location for it to pull updates from after commenting the location out.
