Description
### Proposed topic or title
Visual Studio Installer warns ".NET x.x Runtime (Out of support)"
### Location in table of contents.
Visual Studio 2022/How to fix warnings and errors
### Reason for the article
The Visual Studio Installer gives me this warning when updating Visual Studio 2022:
> Some of your selections are no longer fully supported...
> * .NET 7.0 Runtime (Out of support)
I can't find any documentation for how to resolve this warning. Since I know (or I think) I'm not using NET 7.0 for anything, I think I want to find some utility that lets me uninstall .NET 7.0 Runtime. The Windows Settings "Apps/Installed Apps" page doesn't help. The [.NET Uninstall tool](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/additional-tools/uninstall-tool-overview?pivots=os-windows) is equally unhelpful.
I finally discovered that the Visual Studio Installer has a "Remove all out-of-support components" option under More/Update Settings. Enabling this option causes the installer the silently remove the offending component(s). No clue if the installer checks to see if anything depends on the out-of-support components it is removing.
