How to fix install updates message, even though there are no updates to install?

I have Ubuntu 16.04 and when I go to into my settings into the Details/Overview page I see a button on the bottom right that says: "Install Updates". Pressing it gives a small progress windows, that does not really install anything new. How can I change the button to display system up to date, instead of doing this pseudo update nothing thing?

The main problem is that the GUI does not show the error message from the terminal, which in my case was: "The following packages have been kept back:" Then following the answers from here should work to fix it.
