MacOS – How to hide App Store updates in El Capitan? Right click won’t work

mac-appstoremacossoftware-update

The App store is nagging me to update OS X software (like iMovie, Photos) that I have no interest in. When I click or Control-click the white space of the suggested update I do not get a hide option (except for the banner for upgrading to Sierra, which I have hidden).

How do I hide an unwanted update?

I believe you simply need to change where you are clicking. See the screenshot below. Hide Update only showed up when right-clicking (or Control-clicking) in the green area, not the red areas.
