This issue has been solved. See solution.

A quick question about the "Auto Update" feature for clients. We're getting ready to release MR5  and we will probably deploy via Auto Update. I know that it says it'll take about 30 minutes or so, but do the users see an Install box, or is it silent in the background?

I don't think that it even takes 30 mins.

Just  assign the packge to the groups using the auto upgrade option and then run a  Liveupdate from the SEPM from the admin > server>local site> download live update content

once the LU is finished , Go to the client tab and right click on the group and select Run command on group and click Update content.

Within mins the clients will upgrade to RU5.  above all it will be silent and the users will not  see anything and neither have any impact
