If I accept to install a software update when logged with a limited account (or not as administrator) the update obviously fails. Then I end the session, log in as an administrator and complete the software update. But when I log in again with  a limited account the update is always tried to be installed and every time it gives the error message that it couldn't, and the new updates are not notified any more.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Accept the installation of a software update when logged with a limited account. The update fails.
2. End the session, log in as an administrator and install the update. Log out.
3. Log in with the previous limited account.
Actual Results:  
When logged with that limited account the update is always tried to be installed, even if it is already installed and new updates are not notified any more.

Expected Results:  
When trying to install a software update when logged with a limited account the software update should only alert you to use an administrator account to do that task. And the software update should check if the update is already installed or a greater update is already installed.
