Can't find .NET Framework 4.7.2 in Programs and Features?

Question

I just install .NET Framework 4.7.2 with Web Installer. After I click restart, it update my Windows 8.1 (you know, the update screen that said "Don't turn off your PC"). Then after a long while, I can access my Windows, then I check Programs and Features and I can't find .NET Framework 4.7.2 anywhere.

I know .NET Framework 4.7.2 is installed successfully on my machine via regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full

Release = 461814

InstallPath = C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\

Why it isn't install the .NET 4.7.2 in the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft.NET\Multi-Targeting Pack?

So how can I uninstall .NET Framework 4.7.2 if I can't find it in Programs and Features?

Solution

According to this post:

When you install this package, the following packages or updates are installed per your operating system:

In Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2, Update for Microsoft Windows (KB4054566) is displayed under the Installed Updates item in Control Panel.

I think I can uninstall .NET 4.7.2 in here.

Multi-Targeting Pack is for the compile/design time parts of .NET. Not the runtime features. Unless you're a developer, you don't need the Pack.

Since when they put .NET in Updates instead of Programs?

Since .NET 4.7: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7 is available on Windows Update, WSUS, and MU Catalog at blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/06/13/…
