Now I'm configuring a second-hand Dell E7240 ultrabook with a fairly clean installation, and it just happened again after the Oct.10 Patch Tuesday updates.

This process is related to Windows update But apparently it can occur on both Windows 8.x and Windows 10, where the Windows Module Installer sometimes gets stuck on a 25-35% CPU bender and just won't quit. I've only ever noticed this on a couple laptops, because it kills battery and spins fans, although it may have affected other systems at some point.
