Overview
The April 22, 2025 update (KB5056580) is a cumulative update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 on Windows 11 versions 22H2 and 23H2. This update focuses on improving system reliability and addressing specific technical issues. It builds upon previous updates, incorporating all earlier security improvements while introducing new quality and reliability enhancements.
This is a recommended maintenance update that Microsoft advises users to install as part of their regular system maintenance routine. The update requires .NET Framework 3.5 or 4.8.1 to be pre-installed and will require a system restart if any affected files are in use.
General Purpose
The primary purpose of this update is to address specific technical issues in the .NET Framework environment. It focuses on resolving concurrency issues in TypeDescriptor operations, specifically fixing problems with GetConverter() functionality in TypeDescriptor GetProperties() and GetConverter() methods. Additionally, it addresses an interaction issue between .NET Framework DLL loads and OS code integrity enforcement policy that was causing unnecessary error reporting dialog boxes to appear. The update aims to improve system stability and reduce error occurrences during normal operation of .NET Framework applications.
General Sentiment
The general sentiment towards this update appears positive, as it addresses specific technical issues without introducing new complications. Microsoft's transparency about the update's contents and clear documentation of the improvements has been well-received. The update focuses on backend improvements that should enhance system stability without disrupting user experience. While it requires a system restart, this is standard for framework updates and has not generated negative feedback. The lack of security-related fixes in this release suggests it's primarily a maintenance and optimization update.
Known Issues
