I don't think you are experiencing the exact same but as me, but it sounds
similar. In my case, it doesn't even show a blue bar or anything once I click
update. It'll show bars for the flatpaks and everything normally, but once it
starts installing system packages, it's dead quiet. The only indication I even
clicked start after that is the cancel button at the top of the windows, but it
very much is installing updates in the background. It's just not communicating
at all, whatsoever 

If I close discover while it's updating, it'll show a notification that it's
still installing updates, but even then the progress bar doesn't work on the
notification. It's very possible that with fedoras transition to libdnf5 for
packagekit this broke.
