Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime updates are not supported

We offer .NET packages as base installations only to compromise for their absence in the default operating system. However, once installed, Microsoft .NET updates should be managed directly by Microsoft rather than Patch My PC. While we previously supported them, maintaining detection rules proved too complex due to variations in installation—either as a bundle or individually. Microsoft addresses this challenge by including every MSI product code from older versions in their applicability rules.
