Powered my Pi 4B Bookworm up today. It showed the desktop, the IP Address pop-up, no Updater icon in the system tray.
A couple of minutes later I logged in over Telnet, ran 'sudo apt update', and fortunately it tells me there is one package to update; 'less'. I haven't done a 'sudo apt upgrade' so it will keep telling me that.
Still no Updater icon in the system tray.
So it seems it is a start-up issue. I am guessing it doesn't detect anything to update at start-up, then sleeps for 24 hours before checking again. Because it's not an always-on Pi, gets shut down in the evening, it never sees 24 hours of up-time, never gets to check again, I therefore never see the icon appear.
As it's now set for hourly checks I will see what it has done in an hour.
There is no 'piwiz' running, the network is up, I can ping external sites, 'apt update' delivers expected results, but that doesn't mean it's how Updater saw things when it first ran.
