I have noticed something with Notification and Mintupdate not doing what they should.
I'll elaborate some: Notification Last tasks will return after shutting down or restarting after already been cleared.
Mintupdate Open up mintupdate and never shows updates (your system is up to date), once I click refresh, it populates, I do updates every saturday.
I'm not even sure where to post this at.

In the Preferences of mintupdate, you should be able to set the automatic refresh schedule. Default is 10 minutes after booting into the desktop and then every couple of hours.
Is mintupdate part of your startup applications (as it should be)? By default it adds itself to those upon installation, so that you can see its icon in the system tray. But in my Bodhi something (don't know what; it wasn't I) removed it from the startup applications, so that I had to add it again to them by hand.

Mintupdate adds itself to /etc/xdg/autostart/ but that is not something Moksha pays any attention to, aside from these apps being listed in Startup Applications under the system tabs in the settings panel. But if mintupdate is preinstalled then all new users will have it present in the startup applications. I added special code in Moksha is ensure that was the case. At least I think I did without looking thru the code. |

Aside from the sudden disappearance of its system tray icon, which I was able to repair by adding it by hand to the Startup Applications. |

Both Notification and Mintupdate behaviors do not affect operating in any way shape or form. The behaviors are just very small annoyances more than anything.

What refresh interval has been configured for your mintupdate? See my first reply in this thread.

Initial refresh after: 10 minutes Recurring refresh every: 6 hours That's as it should be. On my machine, mintupdate obediently does what it's told by those settings. Note that my machine is a fresh clean installation of Bodhi 6; if yours is a "dirty" in-place upgrade from 5.x, try a fresh clean installation instead. The "jump" in code base from Bodhi 5.x (Ubuntu 18.04) to Bodhi 6 (Ubuntu 20.04) is so big, that only too often various problems arise after a dirty upgrade. True for Ubuntu, and true for all that's built on Ubuntu. |

Fresh install, feels like cleaning. Well, just may be... would toggling "Only show a tray icon when updates are available or in case of errors" under Preferences > General > Interface have anything to do with it.
EDIT: regardless, the tray icon doesn't show after starting and restarting, if that whats suppose to happen.
