App store badge shows updates but nothing comes up

hi guys,

I am on an iMac running macOS 10.12.1 - My computer is showing updates available but when i open the app store, nothing shows up. Not only does nothing come up, the app store is not searching for any usually either. usually when you open the app store and go on the updates tab, its searches and then displays a no updates available message. but nothing is showing up for me.

I am seeing the exact same thing! The badge icon shows 5 but when I go into the update tab of the mac app store nothing is coming up. Only the ones installed in the last 30 days. I suspect the updates it is referring to are numbers, keynote, pages, imovie and garage band. I guess if you search for them in the store you can manually update them. That's what i did with keynote, it showed under it 'update' which when I clicked it duly did. Then badge icon changed down to 4. I'm not doing the remaining 4 as I want Apple to fix this glitch, they need to get their act together.
