I've seen several posts about different auto-update frameworks for Window/.NET including:
I was interested in the main differences between these auto-update frameworks, as to why one would choose one over the other.
I am also interested in how secure all of them are. I know for most of them, you must use a hosted XML file to have your app update manifests.

Note: Customers that rely on Windows Update and Windows Server Update Services will automatically receive the . NET Framework version-specific updates. Advanced system administrators can also take use of the below direct Microsoft Update Catalog download links to . NET Framework-specific updates.
Microsoft . NET Framework 4.8 is available on the Microsoft Update Catalog website for download and for import into Windows Software Update Services (WSUS).

Regarding securing the download. What you could do is secure the download behind an Forefront server. This server could then authenticate using Active Directory.
