Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
I read Susan’s release today in an email. She stated some versions were expiring today. I have a Windows 10 21H2 version PC. Or I believe that I do. It’s been a while since I checked, so bear with me. Hopefully it’s an easy task to check and to get any updates that I’d need.
Simply put, how do I check which version of .NET I am using on my desktop? Then how do I update it should I need to. Note* I am using my Chromebook at the moment.
I did a Google search on how to determine which version of .NET Framework that I have. I have version 4.8.4084.0. I am not in the category of needing any update if I am correct.
A link in geekdom’s post appears to confirm that what you have IS the latest Net Framework Ver – Hope so, because I have it too. Note, You Left Off a – 0 – as mine is 4.8.04084
Based on the link’s instruction — The Release REG_DWORD value in the registry represents the version of .NET Framework installed, there is a section that shows — Windows 10 May 2021 Update: 528372. THAT is the latest Win 10 Ver on that page. IF you go back to the registry Pg you saw the Version, Go up to Release, Dbl-Clk it, and Chk Decimal. You should see 528372.
Going to attempt an Image here, but hope that helps if no luck….

Different methods reflect slightly different presentations.
I used C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\accessibility.dll information to locate .NET Framework version, although any .dll file in the directory will work:

I show .NET framework 4.8.4161.0 using this version.
I show .net Framework 4.8.04161 using DotNetVersions program which has complete information.
geekdom, sorry I and my ADD missed your 4.8’s further down. Win 11 Surely makes a Ver difference as your — accessibility.dll — Properties method Still shows 4.8.04084 For Me — AND Susan’s ComputerWorld article states “She has (Win 10) Dword Value 528372 for 4.8” that I showed above with 4.8.04084 as Version. DotNetVersions Dnload method shows same.
Note to Rush 2112: I, and maybe you, didn’t have Checked in Settings/ Updates & Security/ Advanced Options …. the Box… “Receive Updates for other MS products when you update Windows”. Per Susan’s Computerworld article: Unless you have this box checked, your system may not get updates for newer .NET platforms installed by apps. Mine is Now chk’d.
