Yes, in that sense, yes. But the user experiences a crash of his session. My suggestion is to get everything ready, tell the user to accept a session restart, close the session, update critical things, start the session again. Automatically. Windows does it this way, yes.
Windows does not close session - it reboots and installs updates during reboot.
Correct. W10 seems to wait till you halt the computer, and then does the updates, sometimes taking ages, just when might be in a hurry. It is not an option. Some updates before halting, some before booting. But we could separate those updates that need a session restart and those that need a reboot, and those that just need a service restart or application restart.
That is how packagekit offline updates work and I believe offline updates are the only ones supported by native GNOME client (I may be mistaken, but I got this impression when I looked last time).
I don't know, I never use that tool. If it does that, cool.
Just saying an idea, I like how it is currently :-)
