It rather looks as if this is a non runner for me.
No matter how I set the choices associated with update manager, it fails to show itself on reboot next day.
A couple of days ago, no shield, open update manager and I find three updates awaiting install. First I change the choice again (2 choices, two possibles, so four permutations, and I have tried them all) then carry out updates. That done, the green shield sits there. Later it flags up another. Install that. All OK. Next day, no shield again.
Must just remember to open update manager myself daily!
