Additional info re: my comment above. I have Ubuntu 16.04 running on two PCs, an Asus laptop and HP desktop. On 7/7 both were having this issue but since then the laptop somehow self corrected after applying updates a couple of days later. The desktop is still not working but all updates have been run.
Side note: I discovered that if I run command sudo gnome-software from terminal, Software Center opens with all applications showing normally. Is that a viable workaround? I'm reluctant to try installing applications that way because I don't want to have to run them as root.
