Windows 10: C++ redistributables

Hi


Due to business security requirements I need to ensure that only supported versions of C++ are installed on our computer estate. I also understand that some versions may have dependencies.


I've located the KB which shows which versions are supported but it's too high level https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads. I need to identify what is the latest point release for each supported version from C++ 2010 - 2019.


Example:

C ++ 2010 latest release appears to be point release 10.0.40219


Is there a list anywhere of versions with latest point release.


I did try downloading latest available versions from the download center but this has proven not reliable, i.e. not always latest versions.



Thanks

Susan

C++ redistributable

Sometimes when i install games, at the end they require two other components:
directX update and C++ 2005 redistributable.
Now the question is: This C++ 2005 means that the game was written in MSVC 2005?
*Wtf :wtf:

Follow the below steps:

Step 1: Uninstall the exiting Microsoft Visual C++.

a) Press Windows key + x key and select
