Overview

KB5054705 is a cumulative update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 released on April 8, 2025, specifically for Microsoft server operating system version 23H2. This update package includes both security and reliability improvements from previous releases, though no new security updates are introduced in this particular version.

The update is part of Microsoft's regular maintenance schedule and is recommended for all users running compatible .NET Framework versions. It addresses specific issues related to Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and .NET Fundamentals, improving overall system stability and performance.

General Purpose

The primary purpose of this update is to address reliability issues in .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1. It specifically resolves two key issues: a memory-related problem in WPF that was causing OutOfMemory exceptions when printing large numbers of pages, and an issue with System.IO APIs when operating on files and directories on UNC shares. While there are no new security improvements in this release, it maintains the cumulative nature of previous security updates, ensuring systems remain protected with all previously released security improvements.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment towards this update appears positive, as it addresses specific functional issues without introducing new complications. Microsoft's clear documentation of the changes and straightforward installation process suggests confidence in the update's stability. The fact that Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update further supports a positive outlook. However, users should note the requirement to restart their computer after installation and the recommendation to exit all .NET Framework-based applications beforehand, which may impact system availability during the update process.

Known Issues
