You mean bundle and forcefully install MS patches? This would require reboot which AFAIK can't be done without user's action (if not using undocumented APIs).

Considering you're using a vulnerability to forcefully inoculate systems, and you gained admin if not Ring0 privileges, you could trivially "reboot" the box by just crashing it, no APIs required. You could even be nice and check if there are applications with open files, or schedule it only when the user has been idle for a while, and only do it during the usual hours of inactivity (Windows 10 even has a control panel section to choose them). Or, you could just open a dialog box, masquerade as a legitimate update and ask for user consent. You are an important security update after all, just a fairly unconventional one.
