Fail uninstall VS2015 on Win10 due to missing(?) KB2999226

I am trying to uninstall VS2015 community edition on Windows 10 (64 bit) but it fails.

Referring to this SO post:Can't uninstall Visual Studio 2015 (The storage control blocks were destroyed)

This question very well describes my problem, but I'm on Windows 10 where KB 2999226 apparently is not applicable. So why does VS2015 try to uninstall it and how can I convince it not to?

I've tried vs_community.exe /uninstall /force and I've tried Visual Studio Uninstaller. Both fail with the same error. Here's an excerpt from the MSI log (dd_vs_community_<timestamp>.log):

It is possible that I installed VS2015 before I upgraded mu Windows 7 to Windows 10. In that case, possibly the VS 2015 installation required the KB when installed on my Windows 7, and installed it, which is recorded "somewhere". Then when I upgraded to Windows 10, the KB was removed. Now the VS uninstaller should ignore the KB entry in its uninstall process, but apparently fails to do so. If this is what happens, where can I modify the install log/info to remove the KB entry?

If additional info is needed to solve this, please just ask.

The KB2999226 is an update for CRT in Windows and is a component of the Windows operating system. It is included as a part of Windows 10, starting with the January Technical Preview, and it is available for older versions of the operating system via Windows Update.

1. Go to Control Panel—Programs and Features—View installed updates, if you can find the KB2999226, you can uninstall it, then uninstall the VS through the command: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache{xxxxxx}\vs_community.exe" /uninstall /force, you can have a look at here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/heaths/2015/07/17/removing-visual-studio-components-left-behind-after-an-uninstall/ to find where the cached bundle is installed.

2. Download a healthy ISO file of VS community 2015 and use it to repair, after that, uninstall it using the above forcibly uninstall command in method 1.

3. Download and install the Windows Installer PowerShell Module tool to find all related components of VS 2015 and uninstall them, the detail information, check here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/heaths/2015/07/14/how-to-install-visual-studio-to-another-directory-when-a-pre-release-is-installed/

Since the KB2999226 is shipped with Windows 10, your OS is Windows 10, it is not necessary to uninstall it unless you meet an issue that caused by it.
