Hi,
You need to make sure you wait until it is fully loaded, this can take some
time.
Also in Options, General, Show All Updates, then you'll get them all.
All the best

Interesting enough I am not happy with revo, the reason is because it
doesn't seem to show all the programs that are installed on my computer.
I have 114 programs and it only shows something like 90! when I go
into programs and features all show up and they can be uninstalled ideas?
