Depends on the update. Updates download in the background and you can continue using the machine in the meantime, but to apply them, some require a reboot, and then during the shut down or boot process (or both), you have a progress update that can take anywhere from a few minutes to upwards of an hour, though the hour is more the exception than the norm, like the 8.1 upgrade which is very large. Needless to say, during this time the machine is a paperweight.
