The least annoying way to check for auto-updates in a native application

What would be the best approach?

So far I can think:

  • Super small WinMain exe in HKLM \ Run, which checks, say, twice a day

  • A Windows service that checks, say, twice a day

  • Scheduled tasks (it seems they can’t find a way to run a GUI task through a user account, isolate the desktop, etc.)

  • The application itself (does not work if there are several exes, for example, as in the Sysinternals Suite, many, many applications, one large set)

Anything else? I want him to stay native and avoid obsession or delay the start of a cold boot.
