Check and see if you have KB2952664 installed, if you do, Reinstall KB3035583, then uninstall KB 29952664, then uninstall KB3035583. Then hide both updates.
I do not have any piece of KB2952664 on my PC anywhere. It has shown up within the past hour as an offered update(!). I've hidden it.

Just received today's night (here) from Windows Update the Kb2990214 listed as optional update and i've hide that one too along the two previous already mentioned here.
Strange, thought after reading this update was back in October 2014?
From The Inquirer:
"MICROSOFT is wasting no time in preparing for the arrival of its forthcoming bouncing baby operating system Windows 10.
