I find the UI quite confusing too.

The problem is even worse. If you want to perform the default action for the notification "updates are available", i.e., install the available updates, you _must_ click the right buttons in the right order: First "Select all updates", then "Apply".

If you forget one of these clicks, nothing happens at all:

- If you forget to click "Select all updates", "Apply" is disabled. You can nevertheless click on "OK". A warning popup like "Are you sure that you don't want to install the available updates? If you want so, please click 'seelct all updates first and then click 'apply'" would be useful, I think.

- if you click "OK" instead of "Apply" after selecting the packages to update, nothing happens either.

Thjis makes the automatic update notification, a security affecting feature, unnecessarily fragile.
