I would be pleased to let the thing download and install whatever is posted without making a decision...  some people will want a choice.

1. You start the program.
2. Updater wait for 10 seconds and checks for a update in background.
3. If there is an update, it downloads the newer version in other folder.
4. At next run, the Launcher sees that there is a new version in another folder and automatically adjust the link. It starts the newer version.

The user will not be disturbed by messages or forced to restart. It will work like Chrome browser. Stop one version, start newer. It took me one month to do it, but it works on my tests. It will allow to push silently bug fixes and minor changes.

For bigger changes, the program will ask the user to download a newer installer. The user will decide alone when to install it.

I'll demonstrate this in the next version.

Somehow optional; myself, I may like it to happen on its own, and another person may want to make a decision

I can apply it to FSB also. If it works correctly it will silently update the program (for minor updates). If there is a major update, the program will automatically download the new installer on the user's desktop and to ask for install.
