Windows keeps improving even when your laptop is off and running on battery.
Windows requests a power connection because running out of battery during an update could damage the system. If you disconnect it while updating, ensure you have sufficient battery remaining. A friend experienced this issue and had to restore her PC by booting from an USB drive before reinstalling Windows. I've also heard about files getting corrupted after abrupt shutdowns during updates.
