FYI,
Winbindex (
https://m417z.com/winbindex/).
I indexed all Windows files which appear in Windows update packages, and created a website which allows to quickly view information about the files and download some of them from Microsoft servers. The files that can be downloaded are executable files (currently exe, dll and sys files). Read on for further information.
Sadly, it only applies to Windows 10.

Would be nice to be able to select grouped items. Maybe so we could download all files for vc, .net, etc.

I think grouping should working, but you wouldn't be able to download in batch since the download links are directly from Microsoft.

Winbindex is still up and rocking -- this is just a quick note to point to its Github repo as a future safeguard:
[Winbindex is] An index of Windows binaries, including download links for executables such as exe, dll and sys files. All linked binary files are hosted on the Microsoft public symbol server (msdl.microsoft.com), Winbindex merely indexes metadata that enables to generate those links. The website, along with the whole database, is hosted on GitHub in this repository, and is served with GitHub Pages. The database is updated on a regular basis by Python scripts that are also located in this repository.
