Nextcloud version: 18.0.1  
Operating system and version: Fedora 31  
Apache or nginx version: 2.4.43  
PHP version: 7.3.16

The issue you are facing:

When I go to the administration overview and click “Open the update tool”, nothing happens. The button link actually leads to the overview page: …/nextcloud/index.php/settings/admin/overview#  
It started happening when I was on Nextcloud 17. I managed to upgrade to NC18 switching to the beta channel and using the CLI tool, but the CLI updater completely ignores the minor updates.

**Any idea where the problem could be or if there is any workaround (how I can trigger web or CLI update even for minor releases)?**

The output of your Nextcloud log in **Admin \> Logging** :

Nothing relevent in logs.

The output of your config.php file in `/path/to/nextcloud` (make sure you remove any identifiable information!):

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in `/var/log/ ____ `:  
Again nothing relevant.
