Mac App Store not updating apps

The Mac App Store will no longer update the apps on my Mac Mini running MacOS 10.14.6. When I click on an Update button I get the spinner for a few seconds, then it switches back to Update.


I have logged out of my account and back in. I have restarted my Mac. I have logged into a new account on my Mac. None of these things work.


What can I do?

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...


Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.


Does it work in the new account?
