.NET Framework January 2022 Cumulative Update Preview

Tara Overfield

Today, we are releasing the January 2022 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework.

Quality and Reliability

This release contains the following quality and reliability improvements.

CLR1
  • Addresses rare crashes and hangs that can appear in cases where a GC occurs while another thread is in the middle of certain special paths used to invoke shared-generic code from non-shared-generic contexts.
WPF2
  • Addresses a hang when scrolling a list control where both these conditions are
    • UseLayoutRounding is enabled, and
    • The item margin is not a multiple of the rounding quantum. (The quantum is a function of the DPI scaling in effect.)
  • Addresses an exception “Height must be non-negative” that can occur when adding items or groups to the collection displayed by an ItemsControl.
  • Addresses an issue where a shared ContextMenu stops displaying after it fails to display once because its owner was removed from the visual tree.

1 Common Language Runtime (CLR) 2 Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
