NET Desktop Runtime is a key component from Microsoft that allows users to run Windows desktop applications built on the .NET platform. If you use software developed with Windows Forms or WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), having the correct version of the .NET Desktop Runtime installed is critical for smooth and stable performance.
This runtime ensures that all required .NET libraries and system dependencies are available, enabling developers to build cross-version compatible applications and users to launch and run apps without errors or additional configuration.
