KB4586876 Cumulative Update .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 Windows 10 Jan. 12 Win Update

Phil,

This might all be pretty confusing now.

I suggest

1 Turn on updates for other MS products - my post #22
2 Run WU to see if it now shows that KB4586876 .Net update as being required

3.1 If WU lists it then install it.
4.1 If it installs and there are no remaining problems, stick the kettle on.

3.2 If WU still does not list it then use that .Net fixer tutorial I gave you a link to - my post #18
4.2 If the problem defies the fixer tool then study the Ghot guidance in that other thread I gave you a link to [ - my post #18] and consider Ghot's suggestion of re-installing the runtime [his post #21].
5.2 If it refuses to install, try reinstalling v3.5 - Install .Net Framework 3.5 - TenForumsTutorials The update is for both 3.5 & 4.8 but I suppose there's a chance that reinstalling 3.5 would give something a kick up the pants enough to get it all working.
6.2 If it still won't play, consider unloading then reloading both .Net entries in CP, P&F, Turn Windows features on & off. We used to do that for WMP in Windows 7 so it is a pretty well-established method but I have not seen anybody apply it to .Net entries before so you might want to discuss it further before doing anything about it.

Best of luck,
Denis
