    The easiest way to get rid of the error es to simply hide those updates running the "Show or hide updates" troubleshooter from Microsoft sollowing the steps on this guide

    Is this the Microsoft utility used to hide the offending updates?

    I have the same problem, and I knew it's not my machine because it's brand new. A few posters above have hit the nail on the head - Windows is trying to overwrite the latest .NET 5 version (5.0.11) users already have installed on their machines with older obsolete versions (5.0.8 & 5.0.10), realising it's mistake, aborting the installs, and spitting out the error codes. It will be fixed eventually (hopefully soon because I hate seeing the error warning).

    To confirm you have the latest .NET 5 version 5.0.11 installed, open cmd window and type [dotnet --info] minus the brackets at the prompt. Remember to leave the space in the command line though.

    It should look this, with the version number in the [Host] paragraph -

    Attachment 350827


    PS FYI list of .NET 5 versions and their release dates - core/README.md at main . dotnet/core . GitHub
    I think that .NET is designed to allow you to install different versions of the SDKs and hence runtimes side by side, which will be why you've got 5.0.2 and 5.0.11. So it should be able to install 5.0.8 even though your latest version is later. On my system I've got a lot more versions and things appear to be running okay apart from the problem with the Windows Update errors for the .NET updates.

    Given the number of people reporting the problem it looks like a Microsoft have messed up the update package.

    For what it's worth...

    I erroneously uninstalled a vital .NET package (actually the .NET Core 2.1.30 Security Update for x64 Client (KB5005418) that was needed to run different aspects of VS (IDE) from the Control Panel as I initially assumed, when being asked by the newer .NET versions, I had subsequently downloaded from the Windows Update Catalogue to uninstall already existing versions of .NET, that that was required in order to make the newer versions function.

    However..., it turned out to create new problems when running VS and I reported the error in the IDE to Microsoft. Hereafter, I got a command prompt code from Microsoft that executed and removed the last traces of the update mentioned above. Hence, I was able to run the Windows Update App and not only did that particular update show in the list but also the newest .NET 3.1.21 and 5.0.12 updates. All three updates could then be downloaded and installed.

    Although the problem with the three outdated updates of .NET mentioned in the first post of this thread remains.

    I am wondering if it is really worth the trouble of running the application to show/hide the updates someone here suggested or even a smart move since I personally am of the conviction, that keeping - also faulty - updates listed until they are properly removed by MS in the Windows Update app as they really should be, makes more sense. If more goes awry, then at least you can keep tabs on what happened up to that point instead of forgetting about some manually hidden updates down the road.

    I think it is better for just keep the newer versions, as the old ones aren required at all, even for developing (its not the same having multiple "visual c runtimes" that multiple software will use, than having multiple sdk of which you should always use the lastest), in addition to that every time the updates keep trying to install unsuccesfully the system consumes bandwith, memory,disk i/o and cpu, not to mention that your log of windows updates keep growing with unsuccesfull results, if you havent use the "hide updates" option, take a look under your updates history, you will see all the times the system tried to install those updates.

    Because all the said before I prefer to hide those unwanted installations, that many of us had problem, I dont see a lot of results on google to think microsoft will fix it on the near time, I keep having my updates as always (today the updates of .net core 3.1.21 and .net 5.0.12 got installed early on the morning, and now I am installing Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool 5.95, and kb5007186 for 21H1).

    You can always uninstall all versions and reinstall in order..but there is no sense on that, you just can damage the system, use more disk space,use a lot more time than a few clics, and have no benefit as the new versions have all the old ones had plus the fixes.

    It wasn't because I want to use older versions of the .NET SDK but because I have to since I run an older version of the VS IDE at the moment, which needs this particular .NET SDK. Since I uninstalled that .NET SDK by mistake due to Microsoft's update havoc described in this thread, I need to reinstall exactly that SDK for the IDE to work. And up to this point, that is still my current issue.

    That said, as the poster above me also mentioned, they fixed it and the Windows Update app now runs as intended, downloading and installing all the latest updates that you also stated in your post. On top of that, the three erroneous updates that had been pushed out earlier have now been removed from the update cycle for good.

    As a matter of fact, I actually told Microsoft support about the issue when reporting my IDE problem. So I am pretty sure, that that is why things were moving that quickly.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I was a bit concerned taht messing with hiding the update was going to cause me problems in the future after I'd forgotten what I'd done.

    For me, the problem was KB5007051, which Windows Update already listed as installed. After the .NET 5.0.12 update, it wants to install KB5007051 again.

    What seems to have worked for me was to update both versions of Visual Studio I have with the Visual Studio installer. VS2017 Community and VS2019 Pro. After a reboot, just to be sure, Windows Update successfully installed the update. It is now listed twice in the update log.

    I tried this before on Windows 11 (KB5007884 and KB5007885), but still not working and my current version is 6.0.1 instead of 5.0.12. I am not sure why the same issue appeared, tried some fixes, and all of them doesn't work.
