Hi, I found this Microsoft article that indicated the 4.6.2 .Net Framework support life follows the Lifecycle Policy of the parent OS. It is my understanding that this would be governed then by the end of life for Windows 10 Enterprise/Education which is slated for October 2025. Is the 4.6.2 .Net support then scheduled to end in October 2025? On other Microsoft pages I could not find an explicit end of life support date for that version but others were explicitly stated.

Hi @Aragon, Rick R (RCA) ,
There is no clear timetable to show the deadline for support of .net framework 4.6.2.
In .NET Framework 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1 will reach End of Support on April 26, 2022, the document mentioned that .NET Framework 4.6.2 shipped nearly 5 years ago, and .NET Framework 4.8 shipped 2 years ago, so both versions are solid, stable runtimes for your applications. .NET Framework 4.6.2 and 4.8 are highly compatible in-place updates (replacements) for .NET 4.5.2, 4.6, and 4.6.1, so at least until October 2025, it will be supported.

.NET Framework 4.6.2 is inbox component in Windows 10 version 1607 and Server 2016, so it will get support until 2026 for these
they didn't set specific date for 4.6.2-4.8 versions because it depends on the parent OS end of support
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/microsoft-net-framework
e.g. .NET 4.8 will be supported on Win10 1809 LTSC until 2029, but on Win10 21H2 regular Enterprise until 2024

Not sure why you would just not update to 4.8. Any computer hosting your app that allows updates, is running your code under 4.8, not 4.6.2
