Ignore that, I can confirm with today's cosmic on a fresh install
- install daily
- open update-manager to refresh the apt index
- gnome-software displays an "updates are available" notification and the
update tab has the OS updates and a restart&install updates button
That's problematic especially that it's likely that the "restart&update"
button sends packagekit in offline upgrade mode which isn't working
without issue on Ubuntu/Debian due to debconf

Title:
Gnome-software - unable to update software - Button Restart & Update,
restarts no updates applied
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu 18.10 beta (up to date as of 12-10-2018)
Ubuntu software 3.30.2
DESCRIPTION OF BEHAVIOUR
When updates are available, Ubuntu-Software shows updates are available in
the "Updates" tab.
One of the updates available shows "OS Updates"
The grey coloured heading right above the available updates, has
"Requires Restart" on the left and a green button "Restart & Update".
When the green button is clicked, a popup window appears immediately
showing "Restart, the system will restart automatically in 60 seconds"
counting down. The restart can be cancelled or activated.
When activated (either automatically or manually) the computer
restarts immediately and no software is being updated.
After logging in and starting up Ubuntu Software, the Updates tab
checks and then shows the same updates being available as before.
---
The button on the Updates tab should rather offer to update all available
software and only offer to restart the computer after the updates are completed.
