August 10, 2021-KB5004752 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 4.8 for Windows 10, version 1607 and Windows Server, version 2016

CLR₁

- In scenarios with both high numbers of assemblies and high numbers of GC heaps, Server GC can encounter serious lock contention during generation 2 GCs.A config switch has been introduced as a workaround.It can either be enabled from a .config file:

<configuration>
  <runtime>
    <GCStaticsNoLock enabled="true"/>
  </runtime>
</configuration>

Or by setting environment variable COMPLUS_GCStaticsNoLockto a non-zero value.  If the config switch is not enabled, behavior is unchanged compared to previous versions.

Winforms

- Addresses an issue where some Windows Forms applications that use ToolStrip controls with ToolStripControlHost, and run under UIA Accessibility Tools, could make Accessibility Tools unresponsive.

- Addresses a regression in the ComboBox item accessible object where Accessibility Tools was not able to distinguish between identical items in the ComboBox and was becoming unresponsive.
