I ran into this issue after the Windows Update, Cumulative Update for .NET Framework (KB5006765), was installed on a Windows Server 2019 that also had Azure AD Connect installed. Apparently, a bunch of .NET registry items where deleted. Server Manager and any software built on .NET was not working...throwing this error:

This application requires one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v4.0.30319
Do you want to install this .NET Framework version now?

DSIM and SFC repairs did not work, nor did rolling back the Windows Update.

Found some insight here:

Ended up having to import these registry items from a working system:
