Does .NET 5.0.8 include the WinForms ARM64 backport from .NET 6?

Should we expect 5.0.205 SDK Docker images to be released too? I can't find any here: https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/dotnet/sdk/tags/list

Hi Guys, can you let me know if installing the .net5 runtime will require a server reboot?

Hi everyone, after installing these Updates the previous versions (.NET June 2021 Update - .NET 5.0.7 and .NET Core 3.1.16) are again showing up in the update list and of course they fail to install as they would downgrade the current update. As it presents itself these updates do not replace the older versions. Please advise on how I can proceed with this.

Same!!!

Well same problem here. For a few days now. Failing installation.

Ending in an error (sorry, it's Dutch):

The error code does not provide any real information, other than advice to try some MS tools, which, obviously, do not work.

Ha, now I understand. I've been trying for the last week or so to get my Windows updates to work. And after essentially teaching myself how to do it all manually, I finally realize this is a known issue.

This has stressed me the hell out. But I'm glad to find out that I'm not missing those 3 essential updates.

Yet, ironically enough, I literally just figured out how to do it the correct way using the scripts. I've downloaded and tried to manually install each package, only to find that some won't install, which I thought they all had to be in order to have the full package.

Anyways, I assume this post shows my computer illiteracy.
