Same thing happened to me and I got it working doing this    Do not cancel the installation  using the cancel button   instead force showdown your computer so the process is killed and you get a reboot  After the reboot  just start the install process again     This worked for me

Another workaround is to turn off Internet connection  reboot and restart VS installation  Without Internet connectivity VS installer won t try to update Windows first and will continue without delay

I would like to give you a background on Universal CRT this would help you in understanding as to why the system should be updated before installing vc redist x64 exe  A large portion of the C-runtime moved into the OS in Windows 10  ucrtbase dll  and is serviced just like any other OS DLL  e g  kernel32 dll    It is no longer serviced by Visual Studio directly   MSU packages are the file type for Windows Updates   In order to get the Windows 10 Universal CRT to earlier OSes  Windows Update packages were created to bring this OS component downlevel   KB2999226 brings the Windows 10 RTM Universal CRT to downlevel platforms  Windows Vista through Windows 8 1    KB3118401 brings Windows 10 November Update to the Universal CRT to downlevel platforms     Windows XP  latest SP  is an exception here   Windows Servicing does not provide downlevel packages for that OS  so Visual Studio  Visual C    provides a mechanism to install the UCRT into System32 via the VCRedist and MSMs   1 The Windows Universal Runtime is included in the VC Redist exe package as it has dependency on the Windows Universal Runtime  KB2999226   Windows 10 is the only OS that ships the UCRT in-box   All prior OSes obtain the UCRT via Windows Update only   This applies to all Vista- 8 1 and associated Server SKUs   For Windows 7  8  and 8 1 the Windows Universal Runtime must be installed via KB2999226  However it has a prerequisite update KB2919355 which contains updates that facilitate installing the KB2999226 package     Why does KB2999226 not always install when the runtime is installed from the redistributable   What could prevent KB2999226 from installing as part of the runtime  The UCRT MSU included in the VCRedist is installed by making a call into the Windows Update service and the KB can fail to install based upon Windows Update service activity state  1   If the machine has not updated to the required servicing baseline  the UCRT MSU will be viewed as being    Not Applicable     Ensure KB2919355 is installed  Also  there were known issues with KB2919355  so before this the following hotfix should be installed  KB2939087 KB2975061 2             If the Windows Update service is installing other updates when the VCRedist installs  you can either see long delays or errors indicating the machine is busy  a             This one can be resolved by waiting and trying again later  which may be why installing via Windows Update UI at a later time succeeds   3             If the Windows Update service is in a non-ready state  you can see errors reflecting that  a             We recently investigated a failure with an error code indicating the WUSA service was shutting down  To identify if the prerequisite KB2919355 is installed there are 2 options  Registry key  64bit hive HKLM SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Component Based Servicing Packages Package for KB2919355 31bf3856ad364e35 amd64  6 3 1 14 CurrentState   112 32bit hive HKLM SOFTWARE WOW6432Node Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Component Based Servicing Packages Package for KB2919355 31bf3856ad364e35 x86  6 3 1 14 CurrentState   112   Or check the file version of  C  Windows SysWOW64 wuaueng dll C  Windows System32 wuaueng dll 7 9 9600 17031  or later
