If the Help>Updates is greyed out, it means that there are no updates.  If you want to upgrade to Elements 2023, you have to buy it as a separate program.  If you purchase from Adobe, you are entitled to a prior user discount. 

 

(And I don't think you can get to the Help menu unless you are already signed into your account - unless you are in Trial mode.  That is why I am assuming you  mean that the updates menu choice is greyed out/inactive.)

Yes, the version that is marketed as Elements 2022 is actually Version 20 of the program.  That is confusing for many users.

Thanks for your help. 
I ask you one more thing. Is there a way to see what is the current version of my Element 2022. If I look in about Photoshop Element it tells me that the version is 20.0 ??
