Updates Not Loading

As I recently included ALL updates to be downloaded and have run across this problem were I have been waiting for these installations to complete for more than 3 hours .....

This has been going on for the past 4 days I usually just shut them off after 10-15 minutes but today I just let them run to see how long it will take ..... the next day they will appear again asking to be downloaded .....

Photo of my Software & Update setting and what is supposedly installing ......

The same packages? Or new updates?

To be perfectly honest I have no idea ..... it just appeared like that when I allowed ALL updates ..... it apparently downloaded the updates but won't or can't install them .....

Before I only had security updates enabled .....

I don't think automatically installation apply to flatpaks/snaps, bu tI could be wrong.

close the store and then;

sudo flatpak update

Maybe attempt to update by terminal, which should silence the software store:

sudo apt upgrade
Maybe even: full-upgrade which could be necessary since the kernel upgrades take us beyond Ubuntu 22 (possible library updates and such). If the first fails to update all apt packages, it will tell you what it's going to do (it will say, packages not upgraded for <reason>, which indicates a full upgrade will be necessary) , then use the second.

For whatever reason, if the gui updater can't get it done, the terminal usually resolves upgrade issues. It may not be the favored way, but definitely a tried and true method.
