Overview

KB5101014 is a cumulative security update for .NET Framework 3.5 released on July 14, 2026, targeting Windows 11 version 26H1 (build 28000) and later.

The update addresses multiple critical security vulnerabilities including denial of service, remote code execution, and privilege escalation issues.

General Purpose

• Resolves multiple denial of service vulnerabilities affecting .NET Framework stability
• Patches a security feature bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-47304) and a tampering vulnerability (CVE-2026-50659)
• Delivers complete .NET Framework 3.5 product as standalone installer rather than component-level patches
