Support ends for a given .NET version when its published end of support date has passed. Support typically ends on a patch day. If there is a critical issue for that .NET version, it will be patched for the last time on that day. There will not be any patches after that point. Continuing to use an unsupported version will expose you to security vulnerabilities.

The month after a .NET version goes out of support, we mark that version as optional and out of support in Visual Studio. Customers can remove it from their Visual Studio installs by using the [remove out of support components](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/removing-out-of-support-components-from-your-visual-studio-installations/) experience.

Additionally, customers targeting the out of support .NET version in their projects will get a notification in Visual Studio.
