There is a GUI but I prefer command line.

gets the job done. I do have to enter my password. It then tells me which 
packages will be updated and their sizes and asks me if I want to 
continue. 

I did update two machines to 24H2 this week. I got to play several games 
of Mahjong solitaire while checking back  'Downloading 3%', Downloading 
13%' and so forth, and then several mare with 'Installing 5%' etc. At the 
end I had to restart. More games, 'Updating you computer..' Finally I was 
able to log in.  'Hi! Getting things ready for you' 

I have no idea what was updated although I probably could hunt down the 
KB. The good news is it doesn't seem to have broken anything. I did a work 
machine that I hardly ever use anymore and a laptop which is solely used 
for accessing the corporate VPN so it wasn't a real stress test.

I suppose some day I'll move to Fedora 41 and Ubuntu 24.2 but if it ain't 
broken...
