Hi @Anonymous ,

No, in order to avoid the compatibility issues we have seen in the past with centralized updates to the .NET Framework, in Asp.net core, it allows independent version & release cycles and doesn't support auto update the .Net Core version.

To install the new version Asp.net core, you could install the new .Net Core version first, then, refer the Migration to update an existing ASP.NET Core project to new version project.

Please note that this is actually about to change. See details in this blog post: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-core-updates-coming-to-microsoft-update/

In short, Windows machines that opt-in to receiving updates from Microsoft Update (rather than just the default updates from Windows Update) will now receive patches for .NET Core and ASP.NET Core runtimes, along with the ASP.NET Core Module for IIS (ANCM), from Microsoft Update.
