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 2012. Released on April 8, 2025, this update includes cumulative security and reliability improvements to the .NET Framework components.
The update is particularly important for Windows Server 2012 systems, which reached end of support (EOS) on October 10, 2023. While regular support has ended, Extended Security Updates (ESUs) are available for purchase and will continue for three years until October 13, 2026.
General Purpose
The primary purpose of this update is to address quality and reliability improvements in the .NET Framework. A notable improvement includes fixing an issue with printing large numbers of pages that was causing OutOfMemory exceptions in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). The update is cumulative, containing all previously released security improvements and fixes. It maintains the stability and functionality of .NET Framework components while ensuring continued support through the Extended Security Update program for Windows Server 2012 systems.
General Sentiment
The general sentiment towards this update appears positive, as it addresses specific functionality issues without introducing new security vulnerabilities. The update is particularly focused on reliability improvements, especially in printing functionality. However, users should note that this is being released as part of the Extended Security Update program for Windows Server 2012, which requires a paid subscription since the operating system has reached end of support.
Known Issues
