Discover - check for updates - suggestion
Suggestions as described: The button at the top to recheck for updates should be enough (at least for me)

task bar - update in right click menu
I just discovered that there is the function I was expecting in Discover in the right click menu (even I already updated the system).
This is actually what I would like to see in Discover as well

Created attachment 186328 [details] Discover - check for updates SUMMARY Currently Discover only shows you a button to restart and apply updates once the update process if finished. The suggestion is to have a button to check for new updates without restarting the app. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Discover 2. Apply updates that *require a restart* OBSERVED RESULT Currently there is just a UI button in the middle of the page to restart the system and apply the updates (even there is such a button when updates are not applied) When I want to check for new updates I have to restart Discover. Sidenote: Switching through the tabs on the left *after an update to system components* often leads into Discover crashing. EXPECTED RESULT Button to recheck for updates is kept in the UI. My current workflow is to open Discover when I know I only need my PC for things I do not need the internet for so that I do not get limited by Discover using the bandwidth. The updates usually have long finished when I want to shutdown my PC. Before I shut down my PC I usually apply the latest updates before I shutdown the machine. As I keep Discover open all the time, I have to restart the app to be able to do so. As I can apply updates 2 times without any problem I wouldn't expect searching and applying for updates a second time would break anything. The button would do what it does anyway right now: Recheck for updates. TLDR: Adding the button that exists before applying the update is enough for me.
