KB5054697: Overview with user sentiment and feedback

Overview

This is a Security and Quality Rollup update for .NET Framework 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, and 4.7.2 on Windows Server 2012. Released for April 8, 2025, this update includes cumulative security and reliability improvements. It's important to note that this is an Extended Security Update (ESU) as Windows Server 2012 reached end of support on October 10, 2023.

General Purpose

The primary purpose of this update is to provide quality and reliability improvements for .NET Framework installations. A notable improvement addresses an issue with printing large numbers of pages that was causing OutOfMemory exceptions in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This update is cumulative and contains all previously released security improvements. The update is particularly important for maintaining the security and stability of .NET Framework installations on Windows Server 2012 systems that are part of the Extended Security Update program.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment towards this update appears positive, with no major issues reported. The update focuses on specific improvements to printing functionality and maintains the security posture of .NET Framework installations. However, users should note that this is an ESU update for Windows Server 2012, which requires a paid subscription to receive these updates as the operating system has reached end of support. Microsoft strongly recommends upgrading to a later version of Windows Server for long-term security and support.

Known Issues

• Installation may fail on Azure Arc-enabled devices running Windows Server 2012
• Requires latest servicing stack update (SSU) before installation
• Language packs must be reinstalled if installed after this update
