.net 4.8 on windows 7

Question

I've developed a .NET app that it's target framework is 4.61.
I've experienced a problem with 2 customer PC's that after several times using the app, the app has ceased to show (I see it's process running on task manager->processes but with no window showing).
I've also tried other simple .NET "hello world" app, and it also not working.
After downgrading the .net framework on PC to 4.61 the problem solved and both apps, came back to life.

Are there known problems with .NET 4.8 and Windows 7

Answer 1

Hi there,

Could you share us the specific Windows version information? Please ensure that you have installed Windows 7 SP1 on your computer and any pending updates have been finished.

For further investigation, could you tell me what development software your app uses? If the software is old version, I suggest you update it to the latest version and try again.

In addition, .NET Framework 4.8 is backwards compatible with .NET Framework 4.6.1. If your application works fine with .NET Framework 4.6.1, it should be good with .NET Framework 4.8. Does your app support specific .NET Framework version? If not, it is possible that your .NET Framework 4.8 is corrupted. You can use the .NET Framework Repair tool to repair it.

Sincerely,

Anna

Answer 2

Hi AssafMSDN,

How about the issue, is there anything to update?

The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 is a highly compatible, in-place update to the Microsoft .NET Framework 4, 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1 and 4.7.2. 

It is supported on Windows 7 SP1, please check if your OS meet the system requirements and ensure all the pending windows updates have been completed.

Best regards,

Eden
