Manage installed KBs for .Net Framework

Friendly reminder on how to find the .Net installed on your machine and manage it. Tested this on only 4.5+ versions and Windows 2012 servers, so not sure if it works everywhere.

- fast approach in PowerShell:
    Set-Location 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full'
    Get-ItemProperty -Path . | Select-Object Version 
    Get-ItemProperty -Path . | Select-Object Release



- if you need to manage a specific KB use wusa. You can very easily do wusa /uninstall /kb:xyz instead of searching manually for the KB in the Programs list.
