Update Manager doesn't show up anymore when there are available updates

Question

Like the title says the Update Manager doesn't show up automatically,like it used to do, when there are available updates.To be more specific ,the only way I can update my packages/installed programs is either via Terminal or run open manually the Update Manager.Does anybody know how can I fix that?
