If all goes well, and services already stopped, maybe a minute or so.
Stopping services can add quite a few seconds, depending on the number of
them running and how quickly they stop.
If you use the previous procedure, then we are talking a minute or 2 to set
services to manual, several minutes for the restart (I see about 2-3 minutes
for my PC) and then a minute for the patch to run. If you then need to set
the services to Automatic, that would add another minute. So my time to do
this is 2+3+1+2 = 8 minutes. Yours could be longer, especially the shutdown,
restart process.
Normal patch running without any of the above is about 2-3 minutes, max. Of
course, this is all done from the local consol of the IMail PC.
