Bitdefender Total Security finds a critical Windows updated to be installed

For months now Bitdefender Total Security shows that it found 1 critical Windows update to be installed (.NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10 Version 21H1 based on x64 architecture KB5010472). I don't get it. I have all Windows updates installed. How can I get rid of this notification ? It shows up after using the Bitdefender scanner for security vulerabilities. It really gets on my nerves.

Hello @Wojciech_Harasimiuk and welcome to the Community!

How did you install the updates? Were all the updates completed successfully? Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update , and then select Check for updates. Tell us what the result is.

If the notification in Bitdefender still displays this as a vulnerability, I would recommend contacting the Technical Support Teams, as more information might be required to troubleshoot this. You can get in touch with our engineers by choosing one of the contact methods available here:

Stay safe.

I have been struggling with the same problem on 3 devices for many months.

Sending the logs to the support did not solve the problem, because they wanted him to reinstall the program.

After all, the problem does not only occur with me and only on one device.

Kindly try and download the update file directly from microsoft from the below stated link. Choose your OS type and build and try to reinstall the software

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5010472

When you install the software, the software will first check if the update is already installed on your PC or not, if it is installed, it will let you know, if it is not, it will install it.

Once installed, restart your computer and relaunch the vulnerability scan and check if the issue persists and let us know.

you can't add screenshots, because your profile is restricted and there are some criterias (like number of posts, comments, time you are a member here etc.) for the profile to be unrestricted...

in your case, only the admins @Alexandru_BD and @Mike_BD can make that change and unrestrict your profile...

so, wait for their response...

Hello @WojTec,

Please try to add a screenshot now and let us know how it goes. I will dig deeper on this update concern.

Thanks

I can think of several possibilities here and generally stuff like MSoffice update, it might be a Windows update setting specifically, that of receiving updates for other Microsoft products.

If it's just an update, and / or if it's one of the most standard ones(security fix, cumulative update, etc.), it may have been installed incorrectly. I usually recommend uninstalling and reinstalling in such cases, but if this has been done already, the best way to move forward would be a more in-depth investigation by the engineers.

While @Alexandru_BD will check on the screenshot upload issue, did you tried to download the update from microsoft catalog website if you are facing the issue with same KB5010472

When you install the software, the software will first check if the update is already installed on your PC or not, if it is installed, it will let you know, if it is not, it will install it.
