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 R2. The update is part of Microsoft's regular maintenance and security update cycle, scheduled for release on April 8, 2025. It includes cumulative security and reliability improvements to maintain system stability and security.

General Purpose

The primary purpose of this update is to provide cumulative quality improvements for .NET Framework versions 4.6.2 through 4.7.2. It addresses a specific issue with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) where printing large numbers of pages could result in an OutOfMemory exception. This update ensures better memory handling during large print jobs and maintains system stability. The update is cumulative, meaning it contains all previously released security and quality improvements for the affected .NET Framework versions.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment towards this update appears positive as it addresses specific functionality issues without introducing new security vulnerabilities. The update focuses on improving system stability, particularly for WPF printing operations. The fact that Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update suggests it should be relatively safe to deploy, though as with any update, proper testing in your environment is recommended.

Known Issues
