Sorry to abbreviate.
1. Normally Update Manager has 'automatically started' on its own -
I'm Not starting it manually from the menu.
2. As one might expect from a normal newbie - I click "Install
Updates"
3. Not much happens, except the spinning wheel icon.
4. No password dialog displays - see number 3 above.
=====================
What I discovered was a workaround which involved clicking Settings
first, and then closing them, before clicking "Install Updates"
but this is non-obvious and inconvenient.
The other behavior (described above in the numbered steps) is useless
and frustrating.
