No .NET Runtime updates via Beta Channel?

Hi,

i'm on Beta Channel (226120.4250) and just wondering, why are there no .NET Updates (Desktop Runtime for 7.X/8.x) on this channel? Via retail channel you get the monthly updates.

Install and see them wia winget and using UniGetUI as a Alternative to it.

Is this common?

    .NET Runtime updates are often released separately from Windows updates, typically via Windows Update, Microsoft Update, or direct downloads from the .NET website.

    You can manually download the NET Runtime installer from the Microsoft website, or you can turn on Windows Update in your settings to receive updates from other Microsoft products.
