</div></div>I rarely use the GUI so not exactly sure what you mean by view the<br>
software updates and see the status in detail, but possibly running,<br>
in a terminal<br>
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade<br>
will tell you what you want. I much prefer that way as I like to see<br>
exactly what is happening.<br>
