Closing the lid on a laptop during updates

My mother bought a laptop with win10 home last year, and it was updated to win11 back in December. She just asked me if she can close the lid after choosing "update windows and shut down".

I haven't owned a laptop in over 10 years, well technically I still have an XP laptop in my closet that I occasionally use as a portable DVD player.

With that laptop and it's Win98 predecessor, I learned that if I closed the lid after choosing "update Windows and shut down" the computer would go to sleep and drain the battery, and the updates would fail to install since it would be like a power failure on the desktop. Sometimes just opening the lid after 30 seconds would fail to wake it back up and the whole thing would crash. This was with an old XP laptop.

However, I've heard reports of users with Win10 and win11 home saying they put their computers to sleep when they go to bed and the computer wakes up in the middle of the night to install updates.

My mother bought a laptop last year, and it was updated to win11. She just asked me if she can close the lid after choosing "update windows and shut down". Normally the computer goes into sleep mode when she does this, and I recall from my XP Pro laptop and my Win98 that closing the lid before it shuts down was a bad idea under win98 or XP pro.

Has that changed such that can she choose "update windows and shut down", close the lid, and have the computer actually update and shut down instead of going to sleep and FUBARing the update process?

I generally use the Pro version of Windows as I need access to domains for work so I'm unfamiliar with the home version, and when I've needed a laptop for work it's been provided by my employer usually using the pro version, so I don't have a lot of experience with laptops running Windows Home.
