I have been trying to get Visual Studio and the Windows 10 SDK to work for more than a week. At first, I was unable to install Visual Studio. This problem was solved by removing EVERYTHING vaguely related to VS2015, thanks to the manual passage of everything, as well as Visual Studio "TotalUninstaller".
Scrolling: now that I have managed to install and run VS2015, I can’t install the SDK. I selected it with the installation process, tried to change VS after, tried to install it using the Standalone installer, but none of them work. Each time the installer does not notice anything, all the tools appear in the Start menu, a new folder “Program Files (x86) /WindowsKits/10.0” appears with all the correct files, but VS cannot open any UWP Projects, cannot create new ones, and The SDK does not appear in the Extensions list.
When I deleted everything, there was only one thing left that I could not get rid of: "Windows 10 for mobile image - 10.0.10240.0." It just opens, works for a second and closes, achieving nothing in this process. Since I could not get rid of this, I manually deleted any associated Windows Kits folder in Program Files, Program Files (x86), ProgramData and everything in the AppData folder. But this piece of fluffy garbage did not leave a list of installed programs. Could this be related to the fact that you cannot correctly install the Windows 10 SDK?
I looked through the installation logs, and this is the only error I saw:
[371C:398C][2016-08-08T21:13:35]i301: Applying execute package: {7a68448b-9cf2-4049-bd73-5875f1aa7ba2}, action: Install, path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{7a68448b-9cf2-4049-bd73-5875f1aa7ba2}\vsupdate_KB3022398.exe, arguments: '"C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{7a68448b-9cf2-4049-bd73-5875f1aa7ba2}\vsupdate_KB3022398.exe" -quiet -burn.related.patch -burn.ignoredependencies={248fcd1e-5ee1-421d-893f-ec0a94dd7b01} -burn.ancestors={248fcd1e-5ee1-421d-893f-ec0a94dd7b01}' [371C:398C][2016-08-08T21:13:35]e000: Error 0x80070003: Failed to create embedded process atpath: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{7a68448b-9cf2-4049-bd73-5875f1aa7ba2}\vsupdate_KB3022398.exe [371C:398C][2016-08-08T21:13:35]e000: Error 0x80070003: Failed to run embedded bundle.

It appears in every log when I try to install vs2015 with the right checkmark, or when I use the offline installer. I looked at C:\ProgramData\Package Cache and there is no folder {7a68448b-9cf2-4049-bd73-5875f1aa7ba2} , and none of the other folders contains "vsupdate_KB3022398.exe". This seems to be the root of the problem.
EDIT: I created a folder that was missing and added “vsupdate_KB3022398.exe” (found on the Internet, hosted on a Microsoft server), and there were no more errors. However, the problem is still not fixed. SDK just refuses to appear. I think I will need to do a clean install.
