   The Updater runs every 24 hours (it is configurable) or when you run it   
   by hand (the "Show hidden icons" up-arrow bottom right, and then   
   Software Updates).  Normal behaviour is that it then tells you that   
   there are updates (3-5 days a week), and what they are.  You can   
   "unselect" updates and then update the rest of what they suggest, or you   
   can do nothing and carry the update out before you shut the machine down   
   (or not).   
      
   Carlos does not use this feature, he does it by hand.   
      
   There are updates I am happy performing on a running system, and there   
   are updates I am more careful with (Kernel, systemd, Firefox if I am   
   using it at the time).   
      
   Sometimes performing the updates takes a few seconds (I have a fast   
   connection), sometimes a couple of minutes.  A Kernel update is quite   
   large and includes running some long scripts once it's complete, at that   
   point the system will tell you it wants you to reboot.  I'll ignore that   
   request with some "products" (kernel-microcode for instance) but not   
   with the kernel itself.
