Answer 1

This is a known issue:

Windows 11 known issues and notifications | Microsoft Docs

After installing KB5012643, some .NET Framework 3.5 apps might have issues or might fail to open. Affected apps are using certain optional components in .NET Framework 3.5, such as Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow (WWF) components.

Workaround: You can mitigate this issue by re-enabling .NET Framework 3.5 and the Windows Communication Foundation in Windows Features. For instructions, please see Enable the .NET Framework 3.5 in Control Panel. Advanced users or IT admins can do this programmatically using an elevated Command Prompt (run as administrator) and running the following commands:

dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:netfx3 /all
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:WCF-HTTP-Activation
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:WCF-NonHTTP-Activation

**Next steps:**We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

Hello to the community!

After this morning's (i.e. 11 May 2022) Windows 11 updates (.NET and May update) I was unable to run a very important tool for me: my password safe!!! (KeePass Password Safe), which was working yesterday. I, got the error 0xc0000135.

I solved the issue by installing .NET 3.5, which was not useful before (as only the 4.8 was requested).

Please ask Microsoft engineers to rapidly solve this really annoying bug.

Hm, interesting.

On my W11 Desktop-PC i have no issues with both updates.

My W11 Laptop refuses to start apps with the errorcode 135 and MS .net was (had/has) only 4.8 installed (standart).

I unistalled the KB5013943 and everything works as intended.

So, but adding .net 3.5 does also the trick? strange... dr. strange...
