apt can be used instead of apt-get since many years ago.

apt autoremove merely removes orphaned packages. Other than recovering a few MB it has no other use whatsoever. And irrelevant for the issue posted.

apt update merely refreshes the package list by accessing the repositories and checking for newer versions. It'll fail with errors if any of them can't be accessed for whatever reason. And why exactly are you recommending to run it "at least 2 or 3 times in order to see all missing package"? It doesn't show missing packages - running apt upgrade or apt full-upgrade after will indeed show missing dependencies - but in any case run it once, it won't show anything different in the second or third attempt.

apt install -f , the same as apt --fix-missing install , is used to add whenever possible missing packages/dependencies. It'll simply do NOTHING if the problem stems from invalid repos of if the packges don't exist at all in any repo. It's not a magical incantation! And most of the times when, for whatever reason, an installtion process was interrupted and you end up with "broken packages" you need to run dpkg --configure -a to fix it before using apt again.

Something might have worked but not what you think did.

Using command prompt is fine, even encouraged, but then you need to understand what the commands do in order to use them properly.

Have you tried clearing the cache of your package manager or the software store? MethodistMyChart
