Microsoft has acknowledged that two recent updates for Windows 10 are causing problems for users. People who have installed KB4598299 and KB4598301 report BSoDs as well as app crashes.
The two updates (released from Windows 10 versions 1909, 2004, and 20H2) were supposed to address issues in .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8, but they have – as is becoming more common with Windows updates – new issues of their own. set.

Among the applications involved are Visual Studio, which causes developers headaches. Other problems can be found in Windows Presentation Foundation affecting different programs.
In the Visual Studio forums in response to complaints from users, Microsoft has indicated that the issue will be addressed soon. The company said:
A solution to this problem has been implemented internally and is being prepared for release. We will update you as soon as it is available for download.
For now, the only real solution is to remove KB4598299 or KB4598301 via the Settings app in Windows 10, though potential solutions are also suggested in the Visual Studio forums.
