Does macOS install updates when you reboot if not explicitly allowed to? On Windows, when updates are available, you are not allowed to reboot your computer without installing them which takes quite a long time.

On my Mac, a normal update is available. 
If I reboot normally with this button will updates automatically be installed?
On Mac OS X High Sierra you have the choice what to do with updates.

From just checking automatically (or not) to full Install for the OS and applications.



On Mojave the menu looks different but does the same (you choose). &nbsp;
