Looks like the updater executable is built with the classic .NET 4.8.x Framework, per the Fault data. I have the 8.0.15 .NET Core installed though, which obviously has portability/backward compatability with classic framework apps. (see attached)never had an issue before.

Yes, the updater is built with the 4.8 runtime, so your problem might be you ONLY have the 8.x core installed and nothing else, because if I check my installed runtimes, I have many of them, in multiple versions, like Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App, which is in addition to the Microsoft.NETCore.App, so maybe you only need to install the missing ones.

The 8.x core has the 4.0x framework portability built into it.

MS switched from the framework to the core to be able to make CLR/CLI binaries portable between OS's and platforms and not windows exclusive.

Nevertheless, I have already validated this issue on another machine running the deprecated 4.x framework SxS with the 8.x core.

Haven't been able to launch the installer UI for 2 months.
