Initiate app updates instead of opening Catalog App from Notification Center

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.
