Received Ghost update on Oct 13, 2023. Still don't know what is that update about. Any idea what the ghost update could be for?

Most likely background check complete. That’s what happened to me.

It is when the tracker says there is an update, but nothing has changed on the tracker.

Thanks for the clarifications.
So, Post receiving AORs on Oct 5th, Me, My husband and kids received and email for creating tracker on Oct 12th.
However, I see that my Tracker account says new update on Oct 13th for myself and my husband.. But no change in the tracker.
Could this be a GU or its regarding the tracker email I received on Oct 12th?
If it's a GU, could it mean that the BG is complete, and I should expect something this week?

Appreciate your reply.

Hard to say for sure. But, I think in this case, it may be an update for creating the account (since it was only one day after creating the tracker).

It does not seem like there is a standard ghost update process. In my case, when I got a ghost update, my background updated two days later. But, I have also read others saying they saw no change after the ghost update.
