    Question 3: Can components like .NET versions 3.5 to 4.2 still receive updates through newly released KBs?

    Answer: It depends on which version of the .NET Framework you have. As shown in the figure below, they will all be supported and updated. For all expired products, we will no longer provide updates including security fixes or technical support for these versions.
