If you’re unlucky, your computer will also use this time to install other updates, delaying the process further.
You, as a user, will have to do relatively little, but you do have to let it play out.

If you’re lucky, the whole process will be relatively straightforward - download, open, and follow the install wizard. Realtek HD Audio Drivers are famously unpredictable to download and install.
