App Store - update notifications

[colinwil]

I've got three Macs which I updated to Big Sur. An iMac, a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini.

On two of them, once I'd installed Big Sur, the App Store displayed the usual notifications that app updates were available for al the usual things - Logic, Pages, etc.

But on the iMac, it didn't display any notifications. If I go to the app store it says 'No Updates are Available'. But if I find, say, Pages in the App Store and open it, there's an 'Update' button there.

So I can update apps manually - if I know an update is available. But it doesn't notify me - or show the usual list of apps that have available updates.

This has only started happening since I installed Big Sur. Has anyone else seen this sort of thing? I've tried the usual things - like deleting com.apple.store* and com.apple.install* from ~/Library/Caches

Mine shows the updates available, but they just sit there with the dim circle with the square in the middle. Nothing updates. They just sit there. No errors, no messages, no updates...

I have the same issue (at least sometimes). For me it started even before Big Sur. I rely on the app "MacUpdater" to see which updates are available so that I can then go to the page on the App Store and update. For me at least, it also appears that it's always the same apps that don't show up. Others seem to always show up in the update tab.
