# Engage, Log Issues and Provide Feedback

## Reporting Problems (Bugs)

We track bugs, feature requests and other issues in repository where they will get ultimately fixed. If you have a problem and
believe that the issue is in CoreCLR itself (native runtime or System.Private.CoreLib base level class library) you should
log it on the [CoreCLR Issues Page](https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues).   If in the upper levels of the class library 
use the [CoreFX Issues Page](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues). For all managed API addition proposals use 
the [CoreFX Issues Page](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues) and follow 
the [API Review Process](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/blob/master/Documentation/project-docs/api-review-process.md).

Before you log a new issue, you should try using the search tool on the issue page on a few keywords to see if the issue was already logged.

### NET Forums 
If you want to ask a question, or want wider discussion (to see if others share you issue), we encourage you to start a thread 
in the [.NET Foundation forums](http://forums.dotnetfoundation.org/). 

### Chat with the CoreCLR Community

For more real-time feedback you can also start a chat session by clicking on the icons below.

### Security issues

To avoid tipping off malicious users wishing to exploit a vulnerability, 
security issues and bugs should be reported privately, via email, to the
Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) <secure@microsoft.com>. You should
receive a response within 24 hours. If for some reason you do not, please follow
up via email to ensure we received your original message. Further information,
including the MSRC PGP key, can be found in the
[Security TechCenter](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/ff852094.aspx) 

### Issues with the .NET Desktop runtime

The .NET Core repository is not an appropriate place to log issues for the 'Desktop' .NET Framework built into the Windows 
operating system.  If you are having issues with the Full .NET Framework or .NET Runtime the best ways to file a bug 
are at [Connect](http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio) or through
[Product Support](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus?ws=support) if you have a contract.
