Hello, my name is Mark. I just found this Forum after installaing WHDownloader. I need "Hotfix KB981214" wich is a fix for the "high CPU Bug" when connecting USB Audio Interface to USB 2.0 Port. I dont know what to do, can someone please help me? Is there still a chance to get that hotfix somehow, Windows 7 32Bit?
The problem is that .NET 3.5 are considered OS updates (regular .msu files) NET 4.8 are .msp/exe files and can be modded Backporting NET 3.5 using manual file replacement is possible however that is not an ideal solution. gacutil could be used to install the files into GAC but still...
Yea, that's what I was thinking, But you likely need an specific installer for doing his job on installing the update files rather than replacing the files. Got it, But I have tested some applications built on .NET Framework 4.0 to 4.7.2 and they're working just fine, But I wonder what it breaks on OS integrity system? And also don't worry it's just an testing VM, not an production system.
.NET 3.5 = OS Component = protected files if you don't intend to install further updates, or run SFC /ScanNow, then it does not matter if you overwrite the files manually
Wait, How .NET Framework 4.8 April/May 2026 patches can affect .NET Framework 3.5? I'm really sorry if that's an stupid question, But I'm just confused. Isn't .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 Platform runtimes and updates are supposed to be separated? Edit: I wonder did we mess up with wrong replies or something?
By the way, .NET Framework 3.5 doesn't exit in Windows 7. Correct system component is called .NET Framework 3.5SP1 (3.5.1). .NET 3.5.1 has absolutely no relation with .NET 4.8 but as it is a system component should have a standalone updater in .MSU system package format. Latest .NET 3.5.1 cumulative update compatible with Windows 7 SP1 x64 is windows6.1-kb5066150-x64_9dae42ce4bcab5b66919389100aa69ebdd179ca3.MSU
