I just installed Windows Admin Center and after connecting to one of our servers, in "Updates" category I noticed "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool". I remembered I forgot to install it and I almost clicked on Install but then I noticed something really weird. It says "Yes" in "Reboot required" column and it offers me "Restart options". My only question is "What the hell?"

Probably not, but yesterday I clicked on Install to see what would happen and server didn't restart after install. But after connecting to it using RDS I still see this update in Windows Update. "UsoClient.exe StartScan" don't change anything. When I clicked on download it quickly disappeared from the list and I'm "up to date".

The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool doesn't detect all malwares and it only has list of well-known and dangerous malware and not the entire list of all malwares. Meaning, your system might have been infected with other malwares which are not in the list of this tools.
To scan for complete list of malwares, you have either use updated version of the Windows Defender or Safety Scanner which contains list of all malwares.
It is also assumption and something else might cause this issue but it worth a try to find out.
