Use Powershell to see the .NET Framework version
A quick and easy way to check your .NET Framework version is to use PowerShell. Run the command below to list all the framework versions installed on your PC.
First, open PowerShell by opening the Start Menu, searching for “Windows PowerShell” and clicking on the first result.
On the PowerShell window, type the following command and press Enter:
Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP' -Recurse | Get-ItemProperty -Name version -EA 0 | Where { $_.PSChildName -Match '^(?!S)\p{L}'} | Select PSChildName, version
PowerShell will display a list of .NET Framework versions installed on your system. Here, the highest number is the latest framework version available on your PC.
So you have seen the .NET framework version using Powershell already.
Check .NET Framework version in File Explorer
You can also view the version of the .NET framework that you have installed from File Explorer. You need to go to the folder C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework on your PC.
To quickly open the “Framework” folder in File Explorer, open Run by pressing Windows + R.
In the Run box, type the following path and press Enter. If you installed Windows 10 in a drive other than the C drive, replace “C” with the letter of the Windows installation drive in the path below.
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework
In the Framework folder window, find the folder that shows the highest version and open it.
In the screenshot below, “v4.0.30319” is the highest numbered folder and I will open this folder.
Note: The other folders here represent different versions of .NET Framework installed on your PC. Remember that your PC may have multiple versions of the .NET Framework installed.
Find the file “Accessibility.dll”.
Right click on “Accessibility.dll” and select “Properties”.
On the “Properties” window, click the “Details” tab at the top.
The “Details” tab will display various information about the file you selected. Here, look for the value next to “Product version” because it is the latest Framework version installed on your PC.
In the image below, that value is 4.8,4084.0.
So you have checked the Framework version with File Explorer already. You must feel lucky for the first mistake above Windows 11 It is not possible to install the .NET Framework.
