Just wanting to know if you have your screen saver set so that you have to
log back into your machine if you can still have your automatic updates
download and install if the screen saver kicks in. Does anyone know for sure?

You do not have to be logged onto your machine for automatic updates to
function (given you have a high-speed internet/constant connection) and
being "logged off" and "locked" with a screensaver are not the same thing.
You are NOT logged off when locked by a screensaver - just have to enter
your password to join the active session.

The information above is intended to assist you; however, it is
suggested you research for yourself before you take any advice - you
are the one ultimately responsible for your actions/problems/solutions.
Whenever possible, the advice will include the method/places used in
compiling the answer. Also, questions may have been asked to clarify
your situation OR to give you an idea of where to look - do not dismiss
them lightly.
