Most updates take only a few minutes, but it's often necessary to restart the computer when the update is complete. Administrators have the option to schedule updates for specific times and dates using Group Policy or a Windows Update registry fix. If you're only concerned about your own computer, there should be no need to edit the registry to enable automatic updates.
If there are updates available, you will see them in the Windows Update window. From there, you can install them immediately or select a time that is most convenient for you. If you want the updates to be installed overnight, remember to leave your computer on or in sleep mode at the end of the day.
If your computers are in a network using Active Directory, the network administrator can use a Group Policy to force each computer to update Windows automatically whenever an update is available. Select Auto download and notify for Install to have updates downloaded as soon as they are available. After the update is downloaded in the background, the user is prompted to install it.
