If you want to use programs that need .Net 3.5.

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and enter the following command:

Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:F:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

Here "F:" represents the drive letter in your system which contains Windows 8 setup disc.
Replace it with the correct drive letter according to your system.

Why didn't you try it before shooting off your mouth.?

    • Is the Start menu in Windows actually useful? Do we even need it?

      I think you answered why it gets so much attention in your comment. It's designed to make Windows accessible to everyone! It's a core component of the Windows UI, and 30 years of its existence is why it remains such a key component and receives so much attention to this day!

      I agree with your points, particularly around workflows. But I think this is a symptom of the way Microsoft plans, builds, and releases its OS's, not about its UI ideals itself. It has historically been large jumps in UI changes between releases, XP > Vista > 7 > 8 were ALL significant changes in how we performed tasks. Then Win10 was released and updated twice a year with minor changes. This was somewhat nice as the changes were often minimal, however as it looked like the same OS for the most part, when something did change (like the start menu), it was a bit confusing for people who didn't understand that they had actually been upgraded, and why just this one key part of their workflow had changed. But I believe that was too slow, and didn't allow their future designs to be played out in that release structure. So the "last Windows version ever" was superseded with a new UI and overhauled once more. It too has changed quite a bit in its 4 years, but I think there needs to be an understanding of that change, which I guess we have in the "24H2" version numbering, but not in the marketing that most users know. The most consistent and clear communication of changes I think is done with MacOS. While I'm not a fan of Apples software, their clear and consistent release schedule, and progressively planned changes to the OS is easy to understand, leading towards a well thought out goal. Their users understand the branding of the big updates, and that changes will occur when they update, yet these are more subtle than changes we see in Windows 7 > 8 > 10 > 11 releases. On that, Windows 10/11 version updates just get lost in the vast collection of update types in Windows Update, and as such most users wouldn't know if the were on 22H2, 23H2 or 24H2, or even know what those meant. My thoughts are that Microsoft will drop the Win11/Win12 branding once Windows 10 has finally died. And hopefully, make it a bit more consistent with feature/UI updates sticking to an improved branded version/year release rather than "moments" or just randomly enabled elements in a random monthly update. Until then, even us tech users rarely know what features are in what release and if we will see it on our own computers. Get with it MS!

      Hello, Horizon Data Systems, the developer, has been around for 27 years.  I do not recall hearing anything bad about them, but I also haven't used their software, either. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
