This happens with Windows Defender a lot.

As an example the KB number for Windows Defender is rarely changed so it looks like a repeat but it's just an update.

Let's hear more about the repetition by which KB number.

The .NET issue is widely discussed.

The short version is to uninstall and reinstall and if that fails you use the .NET CLEANUP UTILITY.

Good to read it's the same old ones.
