In the last week I tried to open Intel Driver & Support Assistant and got this message.

    If you already have the Runtime installed, it might be corrupted or outdated. Reinstalling it can help.

    You can install the latest .NET Desktop Runtime from Microsoft's website, or you can check for fixes to existing versions using dotnet --list-runtimes.

      I get to this point every time on my very new Windows 11 PC with all of the latest updates.

      Then it get's stuck. I've tried a fresh reboot followed by "Run as Administrator". Any clues on how to get .NET installed?
