Sorry I haven't seen in: "Zorin OS Updates" the possibility to upgrade from 17.2 to 17.3 (not Pro).
Is this possible? Is there a delay?
When will I be able to see this update?
Thanks.
Welcome to the Forum!
On a Point Release, You don't need an Upgrade and it isn't possible. These Point Releases are coming with the normal System Updates. So, you only have to hold Your System updated and then it lands automatically on Your System. And it will not shown extra as an Point Release Update. There will be simply updated the Packages without an extra Message.
Something you might try if you are worried that your upgrades are delayed:
Launch Software & Updates
Under "Download from" set this to Main Server
Once done, close Software & updates
Launch terminal and run
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
Once done, check your version using your preferred method... Fastfetch or Zorin OS About from app menu... or from terminal:
cat /etc/os-release

Do You have updated Your System?
of course.
The system is updated
Hi and welcome. Did you start Software Updarer, stop it, click on Settings, go to first tab and change source to Main Server? You will need to enter your password to make the change. I recently installed 17.1 Core, changed source to Main Server and sysrem updated to 17.3. You can also see what version of Zorin Is present System | Settings | About.
When You go to Software & Updates and there on the first Tab. What source is chosen there? Is it ''Main Server''? If not please change it:
Could You type sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade in the Terminal and see if You get any Error Messages?
Another Thing what could be worth a Try is the Command sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade or sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

When communicating with text, where things can move quickly, it is not unusual that a sentence gets missed.
So when an instruction has several steps and the conclusion does not show the expected output, the logical inference is that a step was missed.
I thought the same. Yet... you show you are on Main Server. You also show you are on 17.2
This is baffling.
Can you please show the terminal output you get for
sudo apt update

Huh?
Let's see:
ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
You have no Zorin OS repositories.
Well, that explains why you are not upgrading to Zorin OS 17.3
But now, we have a mystery as to why your sources were cleaned out...
You can re-obtain them using your installer LiveUSB, just moving the Zorin Source files over into your installed folder for /etc/apt/sources.list.d

That isn't a Thing of Trust. I don't know Your System. And I can't take a Look at it. So, to solve this, it is neccessary to check different Things.
And the sudo apt update Step shows us a Probelm: Your Zorin Sources are entirely missing. And in sources.list.d are the Files for it missing.
Strange, I don't know why this happened.
Is it possible, alternatively, to have posted the list of: "/etc/apt/sources.list.d" so as to copy and paste without having to download 17.2 (?) and make a USB stick?
We could try to add them again. Let's see ...
Type in the Terminal one after another:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zorinos/apps
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zorinos/drivers
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zorinos/patches
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zorinos/stable
After that make a sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade to refresh the Sources and update the System.
Could You again make a sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade in the Terminal? The Output could shown any Errors or Warnings. That is more helpful.
