I cant install net Framework 3.5 on my new windows11 computer

Dear Q_O,yes, Framework 3.5 will only be used by programs that need this version;

Unable to install the full .NET Framework 3.5 package?

In this case, the solution will be to create a Windows 11 installation media to activate the Framework 3.5 feature;

Steps to create Windows 11 installation media;

You will need a flash drive larger than 4GB;

Download the tool according to the installed Windows 10 architecture. On here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2156295

Run the downloaded setup and click Create installation media for another computer;

Select the Language, then select the edition and architecture according to the installed Windows 10;

Connect the Pen Drive;

Click Next;

Select the USB Flash Drive option and click Next;

Click Finish;

Insert the installation media into the PC and follow the instructions provided in the link below by MVP Expert Kapil Arya:

The procedure is provided for Windows 10 but may work on Windows 11 as well;

Check if the .NET Framework is now activated on the system;

Hope this helps, see you soon!
