    This is exactly how its inserted in my target box...

    C:\Users\Adam\Downloads\ndp48-kb4552921-x64_6912af0422fc16a14f4f398fda98117f1e2f01b8.exe /msioptions "ESU_LOCK=2D40812E-974C-4EA2-8DCC-63C992D505B9"

    When I click apply it has no problems, then I can run the update.

    Sorry don't know why yours will not work?

    Maybe better copy and paste. There is a difference between / and \
    You have to use the one "above" the 7 (on german keylayout)

    Thought that maybe the case, but the original post had the '/' in there so though it was just a typo.

    For the path of the file C:\Your\folder... You have to use \
    For options you have to use / like it is postet from @vinzf and @pesho_georgiev

    I think anyone who's ever used DOS or PowerShell knows that. But there are plenty who don't...

    Windows Update doesn't show it as installed. There is a little catch here. After you install the .NET update successfully via @vinzf's method, try to check for updates again and if it shows up the Servicing Stack update instead of the .NET update, then you know that everything is fine!

    I agree, but many questions and posts are related to such missing knowledge. So from my point of view this thread could be at least 2500 posts shorter.
    I have been reading from 12.2020 all posts and till now the "problems" can be solved by following the instructions and especially the OP.
    And how often I have read from @Enthousiast "have you read/followed the instructions of the OP"...
    Never the less I think it is no solution to "not help" people who dont know or simlpy have a brainhanging (dont know how this is in english).

    Are you sure you added this in the Target Box with one space only?
    /msioptions "ESU_LOCK=2D40812E-974C-4EA2-8DCC-63C992D505B9"

    Lisbeth, me myself had experienced the same thing, but thanks to vinzf's method I was able to install the .NET update successfully.
