KB5054696: Overview with user sentiment and feedback

Overview

This is a Security and Quality Rollup update for .NET Framework versions 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1, and 4.7.2 targeting Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2. The update is part of Microsoft's regular maintenance and security update cycle, released for April 8, 2025.

This rollup is cumulative, meaning it contains all previously released security improvements. It's important to note that this update comes after the end of Extended Security Updates (ESU) support for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2, which ended on January 10, 2023.

General Purpose

The primary purpose of this update is to address quality and reliability improvements in the .NET Framework. Specifically, it addresses an issue with printing large numbers of pages that was causing OutOfMemory exceptions in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). The update aims to improve system stability and reliability for applications running on the affected .NET Framework versions.

This update is particularly important for systems that handle large print jobs through WPF-based applications, as it resolves memory management issues that could impact printing functionality.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment towards this update appears positive, as it addresses a specific printing-related issue without introducing new security vulnerabilities. Microsoft has not reported any known issues with this update, which suggests a stable release.

However, it's important to note that this update is being released for operating systems that have reached the end of their extended support lifecycle. While the update itself appears stable, organizations still running these older Windows Server versions should be planning their migration to supported operating system versions.

Known Issues

• Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update
