@Yoann same issue here. Clean install of Windows Server 2019 latest build, install .NET Framework offline installer 4.8, reboot and boom. Many native control panels, like Server Manager, requesting some 4.0.... version of .NET framework instead, failing to load.
I had the same issue and received zero help or support from Microsoft. Dell support googled and read back to me everything I had googled and tried already. Importing the above registry information fixed it without a reboot.
@DavidSherrill This is the exact fix! For us, our RMM tool stopped working on a server 2019 standard server. It's services wouldn't start. Event Viewer complained about .net. Also server manager wouldn't open with the exact message you mentioned. Applying this fixed it all. thanks!!
YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND! THANK YOU! THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION THAT WORKED! Every other solution I've googled of this problem has been some variation of "turn net framework on/off in the "turn windows features on or off" app" or "reinstall the newest version of .net" or "did you try restarting your computer?" (OF COURSE I TRIED RESTARTING MY COMPUTER!! DO THEY THINK I'M AN INFANT??)
Please excuse my novice status displayed in this question, but does one simply copy/paste the text in your registry update file, and does the resulting text file require the line number entries as displayed in your post?
If you do not want to have your servers updated automatically for you no action is required. If on the other hand you do want to leverage this for your servers review continue reading below.
Updates for supported versions of .NET Core 3.1, .NET 5.0 and .NET 6.0 are currently offered to server operating systems via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Microsoft Update Catalog but not the Automatic Updates (AU) channel. You can now get your server operating system automatically updated by opting in for this behavior.
From the first time we started shipping updates for modern .NET via Microsoft Update we have continued to refine this delivery channel including the recent addition of updates for the Hosting Bundle. The vast majority of customers use servers in a managed environment and deployments are handled using a management tool such as Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEP), System Center Config Manager (SCCM) or Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and these customers prefer their servers are not directly patched outside of this management environment so they can exercise control over scheduling potential service downtime, reboots, etc. So when we started offering updates via MU we excluded Automatic Updates (AU).
Is there any predefined PolicyFiles to download , so that we can import the policy file to server and all we need to do are just edit the value.
I think it was hard for users to manually edit the Registry key/value.
Thank you for this! I manage a small number of servers and WSUS is an overkill. I would have preferred AU to be turned on by default though because as you said, the bigger customers manage them using WSUS or SCCM anyway. But this would be a huge time saver for me.
Updates for .NET are listed on the MSRC site. Set the Product Family filter to Developer Tools, scroll to the bottom. In a pinch look for the CVE-2022-23267. You will see line items for .NET Core 3.1, .NET 5.0 and .NET 6.0.
So you can PLEASE actually include some FACTS with your post?
What operating system are you talking about?
What software needs to be installed for this to work?
And for the sake of ALL of our sanity, what the HELL is the ACTUAL registry path?????
Like I said in the post if you do not want your servers updated automatically no action needs to be taken, that is the default state. You can set the reg keys only if you want to opt-in to this new behavior.
On Febrary 2022, I updated a cumulative update for .net framework for windows 10,
then restart the windows, it stops at the Lenovo logo page. Very helpless.
And luckily, I can perform a restore. Thanks for Microsoft update provide a restore point by its ownself
automatically.
From then on, every month, when the cumulative update for .net framework for windows 10 is available and
pending to install, I am very afraid that my system may not perform the update successfully again and
then staying on the Lenovo logo loading screen.
I am not sure whether my hardwares are compatible or imcomatible with the new update.
I am looking to upgrade the AppDynamics .Net agent to the latest version on the Windows server during the windows patching activity. There should not be any downtime to restart IIS. So I should configure all the parameters before the restart time.
Note: configure now enables DCO build by default on FreeBSD and Linux. On Linux this brings in a new default dependency for libnl-genl (for Linux distributions that are too old to have a suitable version of the library, use "configure --disable-dco")
Note that OpenVPN 2.5.x is in "Old Stable Support" status (see SupportedVersions). This usually means that we do not provide updated Windows Installers anymore, even for security fixes. Since this release fixes several issues specific to the Windows platform we decided to provide installers anyway. This does not change the support status of 2.5.x branch. We might not provide security updates for issues found in the future. We recommend that everyone switch to the 2.6.x versions of installers as soon as possible.
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.5.6. This is mostly a bugfix release including one security fix ("Disallow multiple deferred authentication plug-ins.", CVE: 2022-0547). The I605 installers include OpenVPN GUI with a bug fix, as well as updated OpenSSL (1.1.1o).
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.5.5. The most notable changes are Windows-related: use of CFG Spectre-mitigations in MSVC builds, bringing back of OpenSSL config loading and several build fixes. More details are available in Changes.rst.
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.5.4. This release include a number of fixes and small improvements. One of the fixes is to password prompting on windows console when stderr redirection is in use - this breaks 2.5.x on Win11/ARM, and might also break on Win11/amd64. Windows executable and libraries are now built natively on Windows using MSVC, not cross-compiled on Linux as with earlier 2.5 releases. Windows installers include updated OpenSSL and new OpenVPN GUI. The latter includes several improvements, the most important of which is the ability to import profiles from URLs where available. Installer version I602 fixes loading of pkcs11 files on Windows. Installer version I603 fixes a bug in the version number as seen by Windows (was 2.5..4, not 2.5.4). Installer I604 fixes some small Windows issues.
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.5.3. Besides a number of small improvements and bug fixes, this release fixes a possible security issue with OpenSSL config autoloading on Windows (CVE-2021-3606). Updated OpenVPN GUI is also included in Windows installers.
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.5.2. It fixes two related security vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-15078) which under very specific circumstances allow tricking a server using delayed authentication (plugin or management) into returning a PUSH_REPLY before the AUTH_FAILED message, which can possibly be used to gather information about a VPN setup. In combination with "--auth-gen-token" or a user-specific token auth solution it can be possible to get access to a VPN with an otherwise-invalid account. OpenVPN 2.5.2 also includes other bug fixes and improvements. Updated OpenSSL and OpenVPN GUI are included in Windows installers.
Our MSI installer do not currently support the Windows ARM64 platform. You need to use our NSI-based snapshot installers from here. We recommend using the latest installer that matches one of these patterns:
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.4.12, the final release in the 2.4.x series. This is mostly a bugfix release including one security fix ("Disallow multiple deferred authentication plug-ins.", CVE: 2022-0547).
The OpenVPN community project team is proud to release OpenVPN 2.4.11. It fixes two related security vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-15078) which under very specific circumstances allow tricking a server using delayed authentication (plugin or management) into returning a PUSH_REPLY before the AUTH_FAILED message, which can possibly be used to gather information about a VPN setup. This release also includes other bug fixes and improvements. The I602 Windows installers fix a possible security issue with OpenSSL config autoloading on Windows (CVE-2021-3606). Updated OpenSSL and OpenVPN GUI are included in Windows installers.
Please note that LibreSSL is not a supported crypto backend. We accept patches and we do test on OpenBSD 6.0 which comes with LibreSSL, but if newer versions of LibreSSL break API compatibility we do not take responsibility to fix that.
Also note that Windows installers have been built with NSIS version that has been patched against several NSIS installer code execution and privilege escalation problems. Based on our testing, though, older Windows versions such as Windows 7 might not benefit from these fixes. We thus strongly encourage you to always move NSIS installers to a non-user-writeable location before running them.
If you find a bug in this release, please file a bug report to our Trac bug tracker. In uncertain cases please contact our developers first, either using the openvpn-devel mailinglist or the developer IRC channel (#openvpn-devel at irc.libera.chat). For generic help take a look at our official documentation, wiki, forums, openvpn-users mailing list and user IRC channel (#openvpn at irc.libera.chat).
