It'll show you updates you haven't done since whatever time period I haven't figured out, but to actually check, from there you have to click 'Manage', then 'Updates available', then 'Check for updates.'

Typically, I have nothing waiting for me in updates, and have to do the above to expose 8 or so apps with updates available.

Settings, System, Software Updates, App updates

Bonus that any OS or Google services updates are here too
