I was still on BypassESU v9. 2021-03 monthly rollup and malicious software removal tool were offered through Windows Update and installed fine. WU does not see a .net framework update.
It's been a weird Month with the Updates, however all the updates installed manually successfully.Thanks Team!
Am I missing something? Microsoft pulled the .NET updates for this month, right? Why is the last 4 pages full of people still trying to install them? Doesn't the fact that Microsoft pulled them indicate that maybe we should NOT install them? Or is there more going on here than I'm seeing?
They did not pull them completely at first, they created totally new version of .NET Rollups that contain v2 of .NET 4.x updates Code: 2021-03 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework for Windows 7 (KB4579977) 2021-03 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework for Windows 7 (KB4603002) you get both new rollups offered even if you have v1 installed but this caused some detection confliction (for KB4579977), so they pulled them then, they added v2 of .NET 4.x updates to the old .NET Rollups Code: 2020-10 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework for Windows 7 (KB4579977) 2021-02 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework for Windows 7 (KB4603002) you get KB4603002 rollup offered only if you do not have v1 installed
Can somebody help, why the installation of march rollup(KB5000841) after restart fail. I have Bypass11 and the last rollup(KB4601347) was without problem. Thanks
Thanks for the very detailed explanation. I was not aware that there were the 2021-03 versions released initially. This must have been for extremely short time, maybe 1 hour. In addition to what was said, KB4603002-v2 installs fine on top of KB4603002-v1 although apparently is not offered by WU if v1 is already installed. I am actually referring here to KB4600944-v2 update for .NET Framework 4.8, included in KB4603002-v2. In a manual installation, it is possible to have only KB4600944-v2 and uninstall all the other updates for .NET Framework 4.8. The other update for .NET Framework is old and there is nothing new in the current package. Is this configuration without KB4579977 (v1 or v2) complete from a patching perspective? WU seems to think so.
KB4578977-v2 also contain some newer files, but you might not be able to install it after KB4600944-v2
Hello abbodi1406 If one has neither v1 nor v2 installed, would it be convenient to download and install them manually? Thanks
is there any reason to install KB4578977-v2 after KB4600944-v2? EDIT: I was under the impression that there is a supersedence relationship between KB4600944-v2 and KB4578977-v2. Another check of the catalog doesn't show any supersedence. EDIT 2: Sorry, they are the individual packages for 4.8, normally there is no supersedence. What a mess with the .NET Framework updates.
Thanks for the explanation. I was initially offered the first 2 you mentioned but decided to hold off on installing them until things sorted out. I did install the monthly security rollup (KB500041). However, since then WU is not offering me any .NET updates. This would be the first time that I've had to do an update not offered by WU. The last one installed was KB4603002 (February Rollup). Is that normal? Should I wait for WU to offer them or should I install them on my own?
Yes, Microsoft indicate that you don't need v2 if v1 is already installed v2 don't contain any new security fixes, they just re-signed the files with new certificate
Okay. NOW I understand (I think). Let me rephrase it a bit differently as it might help others: If we had previously installed the October, 2020 .NET Rollup (KB4579977) then it is NOT necessary to install ANY of the March, 2021 .NET Rolllups Is that right, then?
LOL... Okay. If we had previously installed the October, 2020 .NET Rollup (KB4579977) AND the February 2021 .NET Rollup (KB4603002), then we are up-to-date and it is NOT necessary to install ANY of the March, 2021 .NET Rolllup

Yes, you're right. My only point was that, although being a "2021-02" update, KB4603002 now has a 09/03/2021 modification.
