After updating macOS, App Store keeps showing the same update again and again

I saw an update in the App Store for macOS 10.13.3. I ran the update which seemed to complete successfully. I did this weeks ago. However, I keep seeing the same macOS 10.13.3 update appearing in the App Store. When I ran the update a second and third time, it mostly just restarted my computer. When looking at "About this Mac" it shows I have macOS 10.13.3 installed, yet the update for that version keeps appearing in the App Store (see attached screen shot).

How do I fix this? I've already restarted my computer multiple times and have run the update multiple times, but it keeps coming back. Thanks!

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.2), null

To check if it was indeed installed click on System Report then Software then Installations click twice on install date to have the most recent installs on top. If it is not there then it did not install, App Store is poor.

Try this instead, Download macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 Supplemental Update download and then double click to install.

More precisely, this would be >System Information (holding the option key)>Software>Applications

sort by date modified.
