Overview
This is the April 8, 2025 Security and Quality Rollup update for .NET Framework 4.8 targeting Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The update provides cumulative security and reliability improvements to the .NET Framework 4.8 runtime and associated components.
General Purpose
This update addresses several quality improvements in .NET Framework 4.8. Key improvements include fixing an issue with printing large numbers of pages that was causing OutOfMemory exceptions in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). It also resolves issues related to System.IO APIs when operating on files and directories on UNC shares. The update is part of Microsoft's regular maintenance and improvement cycle for the .NET Framework platform.
General Sentiment
The sentiment around this update appears generally positive as it addresses specific functional issues without introducing new security vulnerabilities. The update focuses on quality improvements and bug fixes rather than security patches. Given that this is for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, which is in Extended Security Update (ESU) support, the update is particularly important for organizations still running this legacy server version.
Known Issues
- Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update.
