so recently i received a windows update and before i went to sleep i started the update and went to sleep, when i woke up the next day i tried launching an app and it gave me the following error:

This application requires one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v4.0.30319 Do you want to install this .NET Framework version now?

I clicked yes then downloaded the 4.8.1 version of .net framework, but i then realized i downloaded it in a wrong way and it didn't function properly, i reinstalled it and restarted my pc and now there it is. its the control panel meaning its WORKING but still showing the same error.. bandicam 2023-07-27 13-23-02-590

    Hi @hamada98765 yup

    In fact, I think you should download .NET Framework: v4.0.30319.

    The .NET Framework 4.8 may have removed some libraries and prevented the program from running.

    For example, I installed . NET Framework 4.8 but I still can't run Project for the .NET Framework 4.5.

    Test1

    Test2

    At the same time, I suggest you go to the official website to download.

    Download

    Best regards,

    Qi You
