Comment (by cypherpunks):

 ticket:21617#comment:7 shows that with, e.g. Process Hacker, it's possible
 to find out what images have RWX pages. Those 2 images belong to Windows
 7: its part, known as Media Foundation (itself and audio codec). The most
 recent version of Windows 10 doesn't have this problem.
