Microsoft today announced that multiple .NET Framework versions signed using the legacy and insecure Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) will reach end of support next year.

".NET Framework 4.5.2, 4.6, and 4.6.1 will reach end of support on April 26, 2022," said Jamshed Damkewala, .NET Principal Engineering Manager.
"After this date, we will no longer provide updates including security fixes or technical support for these versions."

The only exception is the .NET Framework 4.6 version that ships with Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2015, which will get its support extended to October 2025, when the OS reaches its end of life.

No recompiling or retargeting after move to 4.6.2 or later
.NET developers are recommended to migrate their applications to at least .NET Framework 4.6.2 or later before April 26, 2022, to continue receiving security updates and technical support.

Microsoft is retiring these .NET Framework versions because they are digitally signed with certificates that use the legacy SHA-1 cryptographic hashing algorithm, which is now insecure.
