Initiate app updates instead of opening Catalog App from Notification Center

Feature Request

As an End User I want the "Update Now" button on an update notification to immediately initiate the app update(s) in the background rather than opening the Catalog App interface so that I can update my applications with a single click, eliminating unnecessary navigation steps, reducing workflow friction, and saving time.

Currently, when a user receives a Notification Center alert regarding an available app update, clicking the "Update Now" button acts as a shortcut link. It launches the Catalog App and opens on the "Updates" tab.
This behavior introduces unexpected friction:

  1. The user expects the update to start when they click "Update Now."

  2. Instead, they are forced to wait for a desktop GUI to launch.

  3. They must then visually locate the update again and click a second confirmation button inside the app.

This multi-step process disrupts the user's focus and actively discourages prompt app patching.

    Starting version 1.11.0, this behavior is changed and the Update Now button automatically starts the update process of the mentioned apps without further user interaction.
