Wondering if I’m the only one (at least I have the same behavior on both of my F37 workstations):
It looks like gnome-software’s “critical upates are avialable” notification does not get displayed in Gnome. Or it looks like it tries to get a message displayed, but the pop-up is only shortly flashing, but doesn’t stay in the notification area. And it’s flashing so quick that you cannot see any text in it.

The pending critical update is for firefox:
[chris@fedora ~]$ dnf updateinfo list|grep Crit
FEDORA-2023-ee8bfe7d72 Critical/Sec. firefox-109.0-1.fc37.x86_64
FEDORA-2023-ee8bfe7d72 Critical/Sec. firefox-langpacks-109.0-1.fc37.x86_64
And from dconf, I can see that gnome-software was indeed trying to notify me (update-notification-timestamp
got updated each day since firefox update was available):
[chris@fedora ~]$ dconf dump /org/gnome/software/ | awk '/(check|up|in).*timestamp/ {print strftime("%F %T", $NF) " " $0}' | sort

Version of gnome-software
[chris@fedora ~]$ rpm -q gnome-software
gnome-software-43.2-1.fc37.x86_64
Anyone noticing the same? There seems to be no bug report for gnome-software related to this. But maybe this is not gnome-software, but something else?
