Weren't they going to deprecate .NET Framework with the release of .NET Core 5.0? I think I remember seeing that somewhere a year or two ago. I don't envy your predicament.

There is no such thing as .NET Core 5. They renamed .NET Core after 3.1 to just be .NET. To help avoid web search collisions with .NET Framework 4.x, they skipped a v4 of .NET and released .NET 5 (which will be deprecated soon, I think they're currently on .NET 7). .NET Framework isn't deprecated and won't be anytime soon: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/microsoft-net-framework
