Description

### Description

I already switched to .NET 5 with Visual Studio 16.9.

But windows update still installs the .NET Core 2 runtimes also the old .NET 5 SDK 5.0.104.

if I delete them, windows update will re-install them when I check for updates.

I don't want to disable Microsoft updates because I want it to update my desktop runtimes.

### Configuration

System: Windows 10 20H2 x64 Enterprise. (19042.867)
