- .NET Framework Cleanup Tool
Most useful in most cases may be the first one. The order of its use is as follows:
- Download the utility from the page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135
- Open the downloaded NetFxRepairTool file
- Take the license, click the "Next" button and wait for the .NET Framework installed components to be checked.
- A list of possible problems will be displayed with .NET Framework of different versions, and by pressing NEXT, automatic correction will be launched if it is possible.
Upon completion of the utility, I recommend reloading the computer and check whether the problem has been fixed.
The .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool allows you to check the correct installation of the .NET Framework components of the selected version in Windows 10, 8 and Windows 7.
After starting the utility, select the version .NET Framework you want to check and click the "Verify Now" button.
