I have been using and enjoying Microsoft Net Framework 4.5.x for Windows 7 and find it to be the most stable on Windows 7 and Windows 8.x. Microsoft Net Framework 4.6 was really buggy and crashed my Windows 7 system. I had to go into safe mode to complete a system restore. Microsoft Net Framework 4.7 was also buggy and crashed my dad's Windows 7 system. I had to go into safe mode and do a system restore as well. Why is Microsoft Net Framework being pushed as an important update and not as an optional update by Microsoft? I have already been too busy trying to solve Meltdown and Spectre issues. Please Microsoft push Microsoft Net Framework 4.6 and 4.7 as optional updates and not as important updates. It confuses my client base and gives me even more work in fixing computers and networks while I am really super busy trying to tackle Meltdown and Spectre already. Thank you very much. The following is a Microsoft website so it should be allowed here as well. -framework-setup-verification-tool-and-clean...
