Default Windows 10 v2004 update repeatedly fails to update non existent keyboard but keeps trying forever (how to stop that nonsense?)

That Microsoft Windows Support thread suggested using this tool:
o Hide Windows Updates or driver updates
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026726/windows-10-hide-updates-or-driver-updates
http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/2/F22D5FDB-59CD-4275-8C95-1BE17BF70B21/wushowhide.diagcab

1. Doubleclick on "wushowhide.diagcab"
2. Up pops a GUI asking:
Select the updates that Windows will install automatically
(but the list is empty)

At the bottom is a link "Advanced" which when I hit allows:
[_]Apply repairs automatically

Which I checked.
[x]Apply repairs automatically

3. Nothing else to do but to hit [Next].
...Detecting problems
...Searching for updates
And then a GUI pops up with two buttons:
a. Hide updates
(Windows will not install hidden updates)
b. Show hidden updates
(Select updates that you want Windows Update to automatically install)

4. I hit "Show hidden updates" but that simply said:
"You're all set, there aren't any hidden updates to show."
[Next][Close]

5. starting over & trying again, this time I select "Hide updates".
"There are no updates to Hide."
[Next][Close]

6. Well, um, I'm not sure what happened, but let's check Windows Update:
Win+I Update and Security Windows Update [Retry]

Ooooooooooooh. Success!
