Today, we are releasing the June 2021 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework for Windows 10, version 1809, Windows Server 2019, and Windows 10, version 1909.
Quality and Reliability
This release contains the following quality and reliability improvements.
ClickOnce
- Addresses a regression introduced in previous updates. We now honor WinTrust policy setting “Ignore timestamp revocation checks” setting when validating timestamps in ClickOnce manifests.
CLR1
- When the process is not under high memory pressure it tends to favor doing BGCs over doing full compacting GCs. This is usually desirable but if the app behavior changes dramatically, it could cause much of the fragmentation in older generations (ie, gen2 and LOH) to be unused. You can collect GC ETW events which tell you how much fragmentation there is in gen2 and LOH and verify if you are in this situation.
Windows Forms
- Addresses an issue in Property Grid control to prevent incorrect data read in some scenarios in 64 bit processes.
- Addresses an issue where System.Drawing double frees allocated memory when failing to get printer settings.
WPF2
- Addresses an issue affecting a DataGrid contained in an outer ScrollViewer.
- Addresses a crash due to ElementNotAvailableException in a ListView with custom data-item automation peers.
1 Common Language Runtime (CLR) 2 Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

And why are you forcing this update preview on me?
Situation:
- I'm not on any preview or beta channel;
- my list (and everybody's list) of available updates says "Security intelligence etc." and "2021-06 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8";
- the only Download button would download and install both updates despite the fact that I don't want the preview one;
You very well know what I'm talking about, it happens on...
