Windows Server 2019 (known issue)

For: Some Windows Server 2019 devices

For: Devices set up to dual-boot Windows and Linux

  • Addresses the dual-boot startup issue in which Linux might fail to start, showing a “Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy Violation” error.4

Improvements 2 changes

Windows Installer

For: Application owners and users of repaired applications

  • When Windows Installer repairs an application, User Account Control now prompts for credentials. Application owners need to update automation scripts and add the Shield icon to indicate that full administrator access is required.5
    To turn off the prompt, set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\DisableLUAInRepair to 1.

Servicing stack

  • Includes quality improvements to the component that installs Windows updates.6

    After installing the Windows update released on or after July 9, 2024, Windows Servers might affect Remote Desktop Connectivity across an organization.

    After Windows updates released on or after July 9, 2024, Remote Desktop connections might be interrupted across an organization when Remote Desktop Gateway uses the legacy Remote Procedure Call over HTTP protocol. The issue can recur about every 30 minutes, causing users to reconnect. KB5044277 resolves it.7

    Install KB5044277 (or a later cumulative update) on affected devices. No manual workaround is required after updating.
