My friend about your question I'm 65 y/old and use windows 8 just to read the news websites and listen to music on youtube,I saw one day Linux Mint 17 and Linux Mint 18 and I like very much the color and design ,and I know someone tell him and he changed it, I don't know where is that person now , Linux Mint is better then windows I like it very much ,second day update icon came after update problems get start , now when I open the lab tap,The pink color of Ubuntu 17 comes in And disappears very soon after that start Linus Mint.
.
well it's simple - mintupdate is not installed.
the question is, why?
because i'm pretty sure it should be there by default.
did you mess around with software? maybe pressed enter at some point without having checked what you are agreeing to?
hello Ztcoracat , I went there when I click to Install coming this >> The address wasn’t understood
Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (apt) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
You might need to install other software to open this address.

Sorry it didn't work for you. I thought it would help.
Is mintupdate in your Software Center?
BTW, when you are prompted for your password in Linux the characters don't show.
This is normal with a lot of distributions.
