can you try setting the update repository back to Default:
- click on the Update Icon on the Taskbar
- edit - software sources
On the Official Repositories Tab:
- Click on 'Restore the default settings'.
then click on 'update cache" Icon to refresh the repository.

then wait , for a few minutes, and see if the Update manager, now shows some extra updates available.

Thanks for the help, but I decided to use the timeshift to restore linuxmint 18.3 and I will use it until it is no longer supported.
