Zorin 18 Pro tells me I have updates available but doesn't list them.
Selecting "Install the Updates" gives the appearance that the update process is beginning; but it stops and returns to the screen stating "Updates are available."
I'm running a dual boot system with Win10 64 bit. Win10 has the latest / last updates.
What is the terminal output of
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
?

Not certain how I could get the requested info.
I'm also using the Win10 to search for answers to the problem.
Thank you for the lead.
Open a terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+t or search in start menu for terminal) and then enter the command, press enter and type your password when prompted.

Only to be sure: Do You mean the Software Updater or Gnome Software?
I've been using both Software Updater or Gnome Software, not realizing there is a difference.
The Software Updater brings System Updates and APT-related Updates. Gnome Software brings mostly Flatpak-related Updates.
But the Question is still open where You get the Messages that You have mentioned in Your initial Comment. Also the Output of the Command that @Forpli gave You would be good to have to get further Infos.
I don't understand why there are two different updating programs;
I've been using both to update my system.
"Software Updater" was the one giving the issue.

Each do different Things. Let it us stay there for now.
The Update Process looks good for me so far. There was something with Firefox but that is not important now. When You now have done this, does the Software Updater behave now normal again?
Yes. Thank you for your support.
