If you're running it in a Task Sequence, you should control the entire process once the TS starts and ideally, prevent the user from doing anything on the device until the upgrade is over to reduce the risk of upgrade failure.

For the Task Sequence, I'd suggest adding native popups to when the TS starts (when launched from software center) to warns the end user that the upgrade is starting and the device will be rebooting several times.

Note, if you're upgrading anything Windows 10 2004 (20H1) and newer to 22H2, don't use a Task Sequence, use enablement packages.
