Perhaps have a look at this webpage from @KGIII:
linux-tips.us
It supplies info for a GUI for software updates.
Use A GUI To Manage Debian's Software Repositories • Linux Tips
You can manage Debian's software repositories through the terminal, even by just editing some files. There's an "easier" graphical way.

Kali Linux Forum - README BEFORE POSTING IN HERE
Hey there, welcome to Linux.org! I'm a big fan of Kali Linux, so decided to create a forum section for it here on Linux.org.. Kali Linux is built as a pentesting distribution - and it is assumed that you have decent enough Linux experience to be able to troubleshoot things like network...

An interesting question posed about Kali: "Why is Kali Linux so hard to set up and why won't people help me?"
This might make a solid link to share with some folks: https://unix.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5360/why-is-kali-linux-so-hard-to-set-up-why-wont-people-help-me

I, too, have found in my Kali Linux that the (provided) GUI Software & Updates icon on my panel is not operating properly, so this is not just confined the the OP.

@hacktheworld if you can give us that output that might be useful.
Also, let me know if you are logged in as a regular user or as Root.
If the former, you may need "sudo" at the start of the command.
At this point, I have no reason to believe that
will not work, but there is no update available for software-properties-gtk currently available.

BTW - Helpers, I have cleaned out the unnecessary posts, please do not make me feel a need to do so again. TIA

Thank you very much; sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade work properly, attached I will also send you the output of the software-properties-gtk --debug command.
