Question

I have recently upgraded from Ubuntu 19.10 to 20.04. But I am able to see two 'Software Updater'.

May i know why there are two Software Updater ? How to remove duplicate one ?

I guess you are referring to software updater and software & updates. A picture will help us better. — Adupa Vasista, Jun 8 '20 at 14:58
If that is not the case, there may be duplicate entries can arise from multiple .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/, previously a bug is reported here bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/…. Go through all the comments before deleting any .desktop files — Adupa Vasista, Jun 8 '20 at 15:07
Software Updater looks for and updates apps on your system. Software & Updates is how you control where the updates / apps come from. Software & Updates is also where the Additional Drivers tab is found for video and sometimes audio. They are two different apps. — Terrance, Jun 8 '20 at 16:22

Software Updater and Software & Updates are two separate apps even though their icons are similar in Ubuntu 20.04.
