I have with no ill effects. So, well, I would say yes. It's worked fine here
but that doesn't mean you're fated to the same results. I've done whole
bunches of updates to newly installed PCs and then finally rebooted when I
was all done with them. I can say that it's not best practice, surely, but
that it worked just fine on those PCs, with those updates, with those
configurations, and that those suffered no ill effects and the updates were
installed completely and functioned properly. <g>
