When we change Windows we have to download all Visual Studio 2010 updates with Windows Updater and install them again.
Is it possible to download Visual Studio 2010 Updates in an installing pack ?

Yes. When they show up in windows update, carefully analyze the screen. You'll have option like find out more about this update. When you click on it, you'll go to the update's site from which you can download it. – AndrejaKo Jan 17 at 9:27
Well, How can we download all Updates in an installing pack !!! Is it possible ? – Mohammad Jan 17 at 9:31
I think that microsoft doesn't provide such an option. There may be other programs that can download updates and provide packages which could be easier to install, but I can't recommend anything right now as haven't used one in very long time. – AndrejaKo Jan 17 at 9:40
Service pack 1 is available for direct download here. – David Schwartz Jan 17 at 10:38

There is no such thing, other than service packs. – Daniel Beck Jan 17 at 11:17

It is possible, just download them manually from Microsoft. – Tom Wijsman Feb 19 at 14:52

Some updates are only available via WindowsUpdate but after installing Visual Studio you can use the Web Platform installer to select and install any other package (SP1, MVC3, Windows Phone 7, Silverlight). All packages will then be downloaded and installed at once.

What about Security Updates ? – Mohammad Jan 17 at 13:01
Security Updates are provided by WindowsUpdate. – ZippyV Jan 17 at 13:24

I am not exactly sure what you mean with download in an installing pack, but if you want just the executable from Microsoft update you can try the command line tools WuInstall with the option 

wuinstall /download_to <my_directory>

it should download you the install executables for the updates.

If you just want save updates by saving bandwidth see also the caching feature of WuInstall.
