I have an update to Visual Studio 2010 that will NOT update and has failed hundreds of times. Manually installing it also fails, and no source has been found for manually getting this very old patch to install on Windows 10. I believe the problem is that Microsoft simply hasn't re-tested KB2890573 at all and it doesn't install on Win10 ver 1511 at all, anymore.

I do not want to use the MS utility that will postpone this update for a while. I want to permanently block it so it does not appear in the windows update list ever again.

There is no other official way to permanently block updates except the Troubleshooter from KB3073930.

There is a 3rd party tool called Windows Update MiniTool which allows to select which updates can be installed and allows to block updates like you could in former Windows versions.

An alternative to the standard Windows Update What you can do: • Check for updates
• Download updates
• Installing Updates
• Deleting installed updates
Hiding unwanted updates
• Get direct links to the *.cab / *.Exe / *.Psf update files • View update history
• Configure Automatic Updates
• This tool is like the external powershell module PSWindowsUpdate, but much more advanced and user-friendly features
• The tool relies and use same WU infrastructure, all downloading are through WU it's not a downloader
