    No. Not until you tell us about your computer and the problem you are having. Talk to us. All I can think of at this stage is: Open Software Updater or whatever utility the Mate desktop has. Or, run in a terminal

    Code:
    sudo apt update
    and post the printout within quote tags and do the same with

    Code:
    sudo apt upgrade

    You neglected to post a significant bit of information, namely which release version of Ubuntu you are using. The command below will give that information so post it here. It is much more difficult to upgrade older non-LTS releases which is why this information is useful.

    Code:
     cat /etc/os-release

    System>Administration>Software Updater

    or what @grahammechanical suggested.

    A little more info as already suggested would be helpful if you're having some type of issue and updating isn't working.
    UP THE IRONS!

    The apt output will help greatly. The CLI way is more verbose than the GUI apps and gives good information if there are issues
