Microsoft .NET Host -8.0.13 (x64) Popup

Question

I keep getting a random popup with the header Microsoft .NET Host - 8.0.13 (x64) stating "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."

It further states "Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package 'dotnet-host-8.0.11-win-x64.MST." "Use Source: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache{362B4D0D-8438-44DA-86B2-FEC44E000FCA}v64.44.23191". When I search for this folder it does not exist.

This popup starting happening, even when the computer is idle, shortly after installing Microsoft 365. How do I stop this popup from happening 15 to 20 times a day?

Hi @Steve Bailey ,

Have you ever installed any other version on your computer. NET 8?

If there is, try to fix/reinstall the old version first and then install .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.13.

Best Regards.
