Microsoft replaced the free .NET Framework upgrade assistant with GitHub Copilot app modernization, requiring a paid subscription. Developers report the new AI-powered tool is inferior to its predecessor, with issues including incomplete migrations, hundreds of hours of manual fixes, and less deterministic results. The old upgrade assistant remains accessible through Visual Studio settings, while Microsoft also introduced Managed Instance on Azure App Service for applications that cannot easily migrate to modern .NET.
