32How to Install .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 11 [Tutorial]
On Windows 11, there might be times where older programs and apps won’t run. These older apps might require older versions of the .NET Framework to work, a set of software libraries that developers use to create Windows apps and services.
In many cases, your app might install, but it won’t launch. You may see a message letting you know that .NET Framework 2.0 is required (for example). Other times, the app won’t open at all, and you won’t know why.
Even if you run the app in Compatibility Mode, you might still need the correct version of the .NET Framework installed. Here’s how to enable .NET Framework 3.5, 3.0, and 2.0 on Windows 11.
