    And good luck if the customer isn't on some type of managed desktop where the workstations are centrally managed. Thankfully most big sites have gotten away from the individually managed workstations however some still exist. 

    Anticipating the response of "well, just click on update Windows".

    The issue is that many (but not every) sites don't allow their users enough access to desktops where the end user can casually update their Windows.

    Good to know! I think the only Sage feature that specifically uses this higher version of .NET 4.8 Framework is the oAuth emailing (instead of SMTP).
