In this case, add a "shutdown for the day" button, that does the updates, scanning, etc. before shutdown.
I believe they try to stagger the updates so that the network is not flooded. A smart system would coordinate all that to balance energy, bandwidth, night scans, security updates, etc.
Seems a nice niche to exploit by entrepreneurs. Sure, it may be scriptable like you pointed out, but some security teams either are not good at it, or management is more comfortable with a purchased product.
Or use an OS that can apply updates silently and doesn't require scanning for viruses, etc...
That's an org decision that is far far beyond my control. For now, I just want to persuade them to invest in update and scan coordination tools rather than leave them all slow.
