The widget is intended to show available updates when the dashboard page is first loaded. Please refresh the page to see if updates displayed on the package manager page now appear on the dashboard.

It was a 'optimization' it seems, but maybe needs a different approach?: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/cc28e9b1d39eaf64e28702b963dde7a6132a4691

If changing the code below then it shows updates, otherwise it doesn't..:
