You, yourself stated that you ran the update and after a short period you did receive notification that the update was done. I made sure to run "Lite Updates" on this laptop right before I started typing these responses. My system happened to be up to date so I received a window that clearly indicated to me that the update was indeed completed and that my system was up to date. The window had only a single "OK" button that closed it. I could start listing a lot of "actions" taken either on a computer or in some other aspect of life where you wouldn't "assume" the action or task were complete until you were notified, or in some other fashion absolutely certain it had finished.
Here's what's happening: The updates are still installing (as one can see in HTOP), but there is no GUI indicator that i can see that the updates are still installing. It does eventually tell me when it's finished. That's just not typical behaviour. A progress indicator is typical behaviour.

By "basic, conventional means" I was referring to taking the time to instruct new users of the OS what they might expect when launching "Lite Updates". If you are turning these donated laptops over to a bunch of younger users that have never before seen a Linux installation, there MUST BE a minimum of instruction. It seems many Windows users first switching to Linux expect whatever distro they have chosen to either be completely self explanatory and intuitive, or be exactly like Windows. Not a single one of those Windows users fell out of bed one day and sat down at a Windows PC and never had to ask a single question. Each and every one of them received instruction of some sort from some person or entity.
Sigh. It's just not normal behaviour for there to be no progress indicator. Should there be a progress indicator or not? Is this a bug or expected behaviour? Is it unique to my builds? Are you able to verify that this happens on your device/s?
