Out of band .NET update?

Posted on October 25, 2023 at 14:51 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

This time of the week and month we normally get the optional Windows updates to Windows 11 and 10. So far this week, I’ve yet to see the optional updates, however we got two interesting updates that were a re-release of some of the security updates released earlier in the month.

Apparently they forgot to include the September fixes in their October releases. “Microsoft is releasing an update to October 10, 2023 security release. The .NET 6.0.24 release contain the security fixes from our previous September release that were missing in the October release.” Now not all machines may see this, you typically only get .NET 6 and 7 updates if something has installed these .NET versions on your machines. I have not seen side effects, but anytime I see a re-release with a kinda dumb reason like this that showcases once again a lack of testing and follow up, come on Microsoft you can do better.

Bottom line if you got a restart this morning (and why a person in the office couldn’t connect to cellular on his Surface with LTE and called me this morning and I had him reboot and sure enough a .NET patch got installed), well there is your answer.
