The GNOME Software center shows few apps

so, now the GNOME software center shows few apps. All I did is install a few apps, mostly games like Five or more, Connect 4, apps like Evolution, that email client, then uninstalled them and now I have fewer apps than before available to install.
Killing gnome-software won't fix it. Seems nobody has reported this in this Q&A, so here it goes some proof.
How do I make it so it shows more apps like audio stuff?
(yes I'm spanish don't judge me please)
PD None of the answers here work. I've tried them and it still has only got 8 apps.
Afterwards I've got this tough dude in the lower corner of the screen:
Translated means:
"An error has occurred while checking for updates".
Now I did what it said here and it's worse. Thanks, reporters!
Anyway, I made sure that my system was up-to-date, it is. And so, the icon is still there.
Reinstalling won't help either, stuff is still the same after a purge reinstall.

Same issue after installing updated. I have killed the gnome-software. But not helpful. It reappears once software centre restart.

The red exclamation point in your lower left screen indicates there is a problem with your package management. You will need to fix that first. The command "sudo apt update" probably will give you error messages.

I've got the same and this is not an answer but an observation. All the packages it shows are snap packages, if you search is only lists snap packages, if you look at installed it only shows installed snap packages.
