I don’t know your issue, so I’m only guessing.
I would open a terminal and
sudo apt update
to ensure your package lists are all updated, and look for any warnings & errors. Assuming that’s good; I would
sudo apt full-upgrade
to apply all upgrades, again watching for anything that looks unexpected/wrong…
If you only sudo apt upgrade
for example; some packages may not be upgraded; causing notification of upgrades available to re-appear (until you apply them with full-upgrade
) but as stated I’m guessing.
FYI: I’m on the development release, and do all my upgrading via terminal so I’m aware of packages that are upgraded… so I’m a little rusty on GUI tools on upgrading, thus my suggestion of commands.
