1) Select "About this Computer" and the dialog titled "Details" appears.
2) Initially the "Install Updates" button is greyed out while it performs a check for updates.
3) Let's say there are updates and you click "Install Updates" and they are installed.
4) Now close the "Details" dialog and reopen.
5) After the greyed out check the "Install Updates" button will be enabled, even if there are no new updates.

The point is that "Install Updates" should only be enabled if there are new updates.

Ubuntu version: 14.04 LTS

Are you sure? I get "System Up-To-Date." Ubuntu 15.10.

^^^If you have updates it'll show Install Updates.
I don't ever get that greyed out.
But when I select it, it opens the software updater, then I install the updates, then when that finishes I close software updater and, yep, it will still show Install Updates.
Though if you toggle the "all settings" tab to the main system settings window and then back into details, it'll then show System-Up-To-Date.

I don't see the initial greyed out Install Updates, as it is always clickable for me.
I wonder if that happens to users if they have autologin setup.
