Please confirm these before moving forward.

Describe the improvement

The turning arrows icon is commonly used for a reload or refresh operation, and can easily be confused for reloading/refreshing the package list (if you ignore the label, or the label is hidden by default in future):

I would suggest using something like the one shown here: https://github.com/marticliment/UniGetUI/issues/265#issuecomment-1508740144

Describe how this improvement could help users

More intuitive, less confusion.

Perhaps the same issue as Install could be used?

Hmm. I'm seeing now that Windows Update actually uses the turning arrows icon. The Microsoft Store uses a down arrow in a cloud.

According to Copilot:

Question: What operation is the turning arrows icon usually representing in software?

Answer: The turning arrows icon, often depicted as circular arrows, typically represents the refresh or reload operation in software. This icon is commonly used to indicate that the content is being updated or reloaded, such as refreshing a web page, reloading data, or syncing information.

So again, more about refresh/reload, and updating content, not software.

I do think that the Install icon would be an improvement, but I'm not sure what other icons are available to you.
