In Software & Updates, Update tab, 'When there are other updates' option is grayed out
In Software & Updates (software-properties-gtk) Update tab 'When there are other updates' option is grayed out. No options available. I want to choose 'Display immediately'.

Any suggestions?

You could try reinstalling thesoftware-properties-gtkby runningsudo apt install --reinstall software-properties-commonand see if the setting comes back. There might be a chance that this is a bug in the app as the setting I believe is embedded in thesoftware-properties-gtkapp itself.
