Description proteus5 2025-10-23 18:02:32 UTC
This issue persists from Plasma 6.4 (and is confirmed to be present in Plasma 6.5 on KDE neon) and causes a noticeable inconsistency between the Discover user interface and the actual update status reported by the backend.

Steps to Reproduce:

    The system notifier (tray icon) signals that new updates are available.

    The user opens Discover and navigates to the Updates page.

    A repository refresh is executed (or has just concluded).

    The Updates page immediately displays the status "0 updates available," even though new packages have been found by the backend (APT/PackageKit).

    A short time later, the separate Discover Notifier daemon sends a correct pop-up notification showing the actual list of available updates.

I'm not able to reproduce this on KDE Neon Testing with Plasma 

I ran `sudo pkcon refresh` and then brought up Discover from the systray notification
At first, the Updates page showed "Up to Date" but after a moment it changed to show the available updates

I am also not able to reproduce this on Plasma built from git-master on Solus

How long have you waited on the Updates page? I'm wondering if the time it takes the updates to appear is affected by system speed / resource usage.
