Windows 10: Windows Management Framework (WMF) 5.1 Releasing January 2017

Brink · Dec 6, 2016

We previously announced that the Windows Management Framework (WMF) 5.1 would release shortly after the GA release of Windows Server 2016, however the PowerShell team found some issues with upgrades that could affect a small set of our customers. We are resolving these issues now, and target early January for the release of WMF 5.1 to the public.

We understand there is pent-up demand for this release. WMF 5.1 provides important enhancements over WMF 5.0, and removes WMF5.0’s need for installing WMF 4.0 first, on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

WMF upgrades previous versions of the Windows management stack. Upgrade code is complex, and getting this correct with WMF 5.1 has taken some time. We are close to the final bits we plan to release, but want to ensure we are able to support upgrades correctly for all of our users. As a note, learning from WMF5.0, we also feel it is important to avoid releasing near the December holiday season in the US, so that that the full PowerShell team is available immediately after we release to answer any questions that arise from the new features we have built into this product.

So, thank you for your patience. We look forward to delighting you with WMF 5.1.

Windows 10 .NET problems

Hi BlackWeedow,

If in Windows 10 .NET is part of the OS and in registry 4.6.2 is marked as latest version.

How can I have .NET framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack KB2504637 installed as recently as January 9th 2017 ?

Is it save to uninstall .NET framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack KB2504637 in Programs and Features or will this also uninstall components that
are required in the OS?

Thanks,

Claire

Need to downgrade .Net to version 4.6.1 Windows 10

The community forum thread you cited dates from 15 June 2017. It's now 02 October 2017.

The thread pertains to Windows 8.1 and older, not Windows 10.

The thread predates the release of Quicken 2017 R15 (Sept-17) and the "Mondo Patch." See

https://www.quicken.com/support/quicken-2017-windows-release-notes-updates-and-mondo-patch

You cannot "download and reinstall .NET Framework 4.6.1" on a Windows 10 Version 1607 computer or a Windows 10 Version 1703 computer.

Win10 1607 comes with .NET Framework v4.6.2 by default. It cannot be downgraded.

Win10 1703 comes with .NET Framework v4.7 by default. It cannot be downgraded.

Chances are Win10 1709 will come with Framework v4.7.1 by default. If so, you won't be able to downgrade it either.

If you still need assistance:

OPTION A: Answer ALL of the questions in my previous post.

OPTION B: Contact Quicken Support.
