 Welcome to trac!!

 A message that an update to WordPress is available is normal.

 However, if your account has role `administrator`, then the message
 normally reads:

 > WordPress 5.9.3 is available! Please update now.

 (where "Please update now" is a link to the admin screen where you can
 manually perform the update).

 Since you're seeing the

 > WordPress 5.9.3 is available! Please notify the site administrator.

 message, that means that something is preventing your account from
 updating WordPress.

 The most likely culprits are either: 1) for some reason your admin account
 does not have the `update_core` capability that all administrator accounts
 normally have, or 2) that the `DISALLOW_FILE_MODS` constant is defined and
 true in your `wp-config.php` file.

 I'm sorry that you're having troubles, but since this doesn't appear to be
 a bug in WordPress core, I suggestion you ask your question on the
 [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/ support
 forums] and someone can help you there.  Feel free to mention this trac
 ticket when you ask in the forums.
