Overview

.NET 9.0 has received its latest update as of June 10, 2025. This update package includes both security and non-security fixes for the .NET 9.0 framework. The update is being distributed through Microsoft Update for Windows client operating systems and through WSUS and MU Catalog for Windows Server operating systems.

General Purpose

This servicing update aims to enhance the stability and security of .NET 9.0 installations. When installed, it will automatically remove previous 9.0 updates, ensuring a clean upgrade path.
