update-manager package

Software Updater appears in taskbar after startup, does not open window upon clicking

Asked by Tom Murphy

"Software Updater" appears in the MATE Window List after startup in Ubuntu MATE 17.04. Upon clicking on it, the Software Updater window does not open. After a while it disappears from the Window List.
This happens only the first time I start Ubuntu MATE in one day.
I suppose this is connected to the automatic check for updates, which I have set to "daily" (security and other updates set to "display immediately").

Is this desired behaviour? Or should the Software Updater not appear in the list of open programs in this case?
