i've never seen a windows update as a program .
I now know that it's safe and is there to upgrade the system more quickly if we say for it to do so. -

Usually when you download an individual update and install from what I've seen.

@WrCombs The amount of time (read: money) spent on trying to fix this isn't worth it anymore. I am guessing a new computer could have been paid for shortly.
I seriously doubt it. Clearly there is nothing more pressing for @WrCombs to work on, otherwise the boss would have him move on - or drive out and fix it it right.
It's also likely that the customer is paying a monthly support fee, not an hourly one, otherwise the customer might complain about a $1000 bill to 'fix' a computer compared to wipe and reload.
Someone is paying him to do this. Since it is a maintenance contract, I am surprised that his boss hasn't intervened enough to resolve it.

So we use Microsoft visual C++ 2005,2008,2010,2012 Redistributable.
We have 4 of each in the programs and features -

We have 4 of each in the programs and features4 of each? Usually, you would have x64 and x86.

Boss told me to keep looking at it.
Its rebooting after hours so it's not "an emergency" im just tired of seeing it. -

@WrCombs are all those multiple versions required? I thought a new one would supercede the last one.

No idea.

https://i.imgur.com/buFImMU.pngOK. Those are just different versions. Some programs "require" a specific version. I have run into issues where I have 2013 installed and the program won't install. I need to uninstall that version of the 2013 runtime and let the program install the version of 2013 that the installer comes with.

gotcha gotcha.
so it's very much possible that we need all of these. -

so it's very much possible that we need all of these.It is possible. It is also possible that some are no longer needed. However, I would be surprised if those are the cause.
