EDIT: Future visitors - the cited duplicate is not a duplicate. Ignore Ramhound's (and other's) claims. This is not a question about removing Get Windows 10 malware because it keeps returning. Instead, its a question about installing the security updates after Get Windows 10 malware hijacks the update process.
Patch Tuesday was yesterday. My Windows 7 machine took about 10 or 15 security updates. I attempted to install the updates on my mother's Windows 7 machine, but it appears GWX.exe has returned. The malware has gotten more aggressive, and it has hijacked the Windows Update process. (I've already removed it completely twice).
I visited Show all available updates and selected all the updates. But when I clicked Ok and returned to install screen, the malware was still controlling the screen, and there was no Install updates like I am used to seeing.
I also clicked the Get Started button (with an immediate exit) hoping I could dismiss the malware, but it did not return control of the update process to me.
How do I install the outstanding Windows Updates?
