## Summary tables

| Product version | Cumulative update preview |
| --- | --- |
| **Windows 11, version 26H1** | |
| .NET Framework 4.8.1 | [5092431](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/5092431) |
| **Windows 11, version 25H2** | |
| .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8.1 | [5092427](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/5092427) |
| **Windows 11, version 24H2** | |
| .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8.1 | [5092430](https://support.microsoft.com/kb/5092430) |

The operating system row lists a KB that's used for update offering purposes. When the operating system KB is offered, the applicability logic determines the specific .NET Framework update(s) installed. Updates for individual .NET Framework versions are installed based on the version of .NET Framework that is already present on the device. Because of this, the operating system KB is not expected to be listed as installed updates on the device. The expected updates installed are the .NET Framework-specific version updates listed in the previous table.

This update installs the complete .NET Framework 3.5 product for Windows 11, version 26H1 (build version 28000) and newer. Unlike traditional cumulative updates that patch individual components, this delivers the full .NET Framework 3.5 product as a standalone installer. It replaces any previously installed version.
