So, I've been trying out the new and 'fancier-looking' update console 
for latest MikTex, and noticed that I do not seem to be able to select 
an individual package out of a possible set of packages to update -  it 
seems that the new updater tries to update all possible packages that 
are available. If that is the case, that is a big problem, since quite 
often a user (like me) doesn't want to update everything, but only 
select packages (for any number of reasons).

Am I correct that you can select from the list of available updates (or, 
is there a ctrl-select sequence or some such I'm missing)? If the 
former, then I'd file this as a significant 'bug'. I've read the console 
'help page' (https://miktex.org/howto/miktex-console) and there is no 
mention of how to update only individual packages from the list.

Thanks...
