  • When you say does not work, what do you mean? Could you provide error messages, or does nothing appear, it just fails?

Try reinstalling it, reinstalling will do software catalog update and may fix your problem

sudo apt-get install --reinstall software-center

Software center is slow, you can try Deepin software center
