Visual Studio Installation Failure due to Team Explorer - visual-studio

I've been trying to install Visual Studio Community 2015 on my desktop but I keep having issues.
First, it wants me to install Windows Update KB2999226 which doesn't really make sense because it's a Win7 update and I'm running Win8.1. I've tried manualy installing this update but it never works, saying I can only have one wusa.exe running at a time, but I don't have any wusa.exe running when I check the Task Manager.
So to skip this I just cancel wusa.exe in the Task Manager when I run the Visual Studio installer. The installer continues but after a bit it crashes completely, showing this:
Any ideas on how to fix this?

There is a windows 8.1 version of the update.

Restoring VS 2017 to the its last stable state before cancelling an update?

I run the Visual Studio installer to update to version 15.4.0, but my internet connection was unstable that I had to cancel the installation. now I got this message when I open Visual Studio:
this is the message text:
The setup for this installation of Visual Studio is not complete.
Please run the Visual Studio Installer again to correct the issue.
My question is: can I run VS again without having to update, with its latest-installed update?
No. You need to fix the installation first. Either by re-running the installation or by removing the current installation and performing a fresh install.

Error 1603 while installing Visual Studios for Hololens Development

I am trying to develop apps for Hololens
After setup of Visual studios 2015 runs and gets completed, With a yellow triangle representing error it states, setup complete. However, not all features installed correctly.
Tools for Universal Windows App(1.4.1) and Windows SDK(10.0.14393)
The installer Failed. Fatal error during installation. Error code:1603
I have tried to reinstall visual studios community 2015, same error comes. I also tried to uninstall separately Windows SDK 10.0.014393.33 and run the VS setup again, it doesn't help as well.
I would recommend uninstalling visual studio, update Windows to the latest version, redownload the visual studio installer, disable antivirus and try again. If that doesn't work, Microsoft has a whole forum dedicated to troubleshooting VS install issues at:

You are almost certain to get a better response there.

I can only run VS2013 in SafeMode

I am using windows 8.1 and visual studio 2013. I can only run VS2013 in safemode, otherwise it raises error at startup and close. It is same even I made a fresh install again. It is also same for the other versions as well (2012, 2010). How can I diagnoses the problem ,any idea?
Have you try:
Search for the service packs, I think for VS2013 there is the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Update 4.
Restart your pc after the installation.
Right clic, properties, Compatibility, Run as administrator or compatibility mode.

How to uninstall Visual Studio 2012 from command prompt

Just bought a laptop and want to put Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 on it, but it takes forever to do anything.
My first time installing it, it got stuck on a very common problem. Web Deploy 3.0 - Certificate warning or Unable to locate package source error. Since the installation crashed, I installed Web Deploy 3.5 (the latest version) manually to get around this issue.
When I try and install again, it says I need to uninstall or repair first. However, it won't uninstall or repair. For repair, it sat on Creating a system restore point all night` and for uninstall it sat on something I can't remember the other night.
Is it possible to uninstall Visual Studio 2012 via the command prompt and what are the commands to do that?
