Thank you for reading the news about technology: Microsoft puts solutions to the problem of updating Windows 11 after applications crash and now with the details of the news
Cairo – Samia Sayed – The Digital Trend technical report stated that the recently launched preview update of Windows 11 was reported as unsafe to install on a computer due to issues with .NET Framework 3.5 applications.
Microsoft detailed in its Windows Health Dashboard that if installed, Windows 11 Preview Update KB5012643 may cause some applications that support the framework to crash, and PCGamer added that applications may not work properly or may fail to open completely.
Microsoft didn’t share exactly which major apps were affected, however the brand noted that related Framework 3.5 features, such as Windows Communication and Windows Workflow Foundation, appear to be among those affected by the update.
PCGamer notes that due to the .NET Framework 3.5 connectivity, various console applications and Windows services, such as the productivity suite of applications, could be among those affected. However, none of this has been confirmed.
There’s also no word on what the update was intended to address, only that it’s now having issues, and the general recommendation is that users avoid installing Windows 11 version 21H2 with the KB5012643 update if they haven’t already.
And for those who have installed the update, there is hope as Microsoft has shared some solutions that users can try as it deals with the issue in general.
Users have the option to uninstall the update if any problems arise, by accessing the Windows Update settings in the system settings, from here users can view the update history and go back to the previous system version.
