Can't uninstall Visual Studio 2015 (The storage control blocks were destroyed)

Question

So I wanted to force an uninstallation of VS2015 Enterprise with \"vs_enterprise.exe /uninstall /force\", but I get an error message:

Update for Microsoft Windo         


        

Answer 1

The below steps fixed it for me.

First uninstall KB2999226:

wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2999226 /quiet /norestart

Download and re-install KB2999226 (the one we just uninstalled above):

Uninstall Visual Studio from admin shell (you can use the install exe you originally used for the install):

vs_community.exe /uninstall /force
