Overview
This is a Security and Quality Rollup update for .NET Framework 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, and 4.7.2 targeting Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2. The update is part of Microsoft's regular maintenance and security update cycle, released for April 8, 2025.
This rollup is particularly important as it addresses both security and reliability improvements for older .NET Framework versions still in use on legacy Windows Server systems. It's worth noting that this update comes after the end of Extended Security Updates (ESU) support for these operating systems, which ended on January 10, 2023.
General Purpose
The primary purpose of this update is to provide cumulative security and reliability improvements for .NET Framework installations on Windows Server 2008 platforms. A notable quality improvement addresses an issue with printing large numbers of pages that was causing OutOfMemory exceptions in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications. The update aims to enhance system stability and security while ensuring compatibility with existing applications running on these legacy server platforms.
General Sentiment
The general sentiment towards this update appears to be positive, with no major issues reported. The update addresses specific functionality problems like the WPF printing issue, which should improve reliability for business applications. However, it's important to note that this update is being released for systems that are beyond their extended support lifecycle, and Microsoft strongly recommends upgrading to newer versions of Windows Server for better security and functionality.
Known Issues
- Microsoft has not identified any known issues with this update at the time of release
