Just upgraded to 20.04. At first the software center was working fine. I could scroll down and look at the categories. I could click on the installed tab and see the installed apps. A few hours after later the installed tab is just blank. Today, I can't scroll down to the categories. Is this just a bug that will get fixed soon or should I reinstall it? If so, how do I reinstall it?
I had the same issue.
There was a conflict with the snap store.
Running killall snap-store in a terminal then relaunching the app fixed it.

Restart your PC!
Same problem after fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04, there are no categories in the software center.
What I did: opened the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t), then
sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-software
I tried to open software center, still the same. Then, restarted my machine and voilà:
I don't know if it is worth mention but I think in the beta version software center was fine. I don't remember having problems.

I did restart my machine after reinstalling it earlier and still had the problem. But I tried it again and now the categories are back. Though the installed tab still shows nothing. Thanks though. – Wild Card Apr 25 '20 at 9:27

I am having the same issue. Restarted twice, went to Intalled tab & after the spinning circle stopped, nothing. – Phil Leslie Sep 30 '20 at 21:58
Same problem here. I first used the command:
sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-software
followed by a new
sudo apt-get install gnome-software.
Works for now...
gnome-software. So trysudo apt install --reinstall gnome-software. – DK Bose Apr 25 '20 at 4:43
