.NET Framework Updates Missing from WSUS?
Posted: Sat Dec 13, 2025 3:39 am
Hi all,
We use WSUS for server patching. During the latest patch cycle, WSUS didn’t show any recent cumulative .NET Framework updates (last one I see is Jan 2025).
However, when using “Search online for updates”, Windows downloaded a 09/2025 cumulative .NET Framework update, along with PowerShell 7 and other updates already approved in WSUS.
I’ve seen claims that .NET Framework updates are now bundled into OS cumulative updates, but I can’t find official Microsoft confirmation.
Is anyone else seeing this? Are .NET Framework updates now bundled, or is WSUS missing them?
Thanks!
