I found this KB5031589 installed on several servers. But I cannot find any information about it anywhere?
It is not in the Microsoft Update Catalog!
Only Google search result is: https://bbs.pcbeta.com/viewthread-1982648-1-1.html
It´s not in my WSUS (Servers are NOT looking at WU but only at my WSUS).
Please share your thoughts on this:-)?

2023-10-18T17:17:34.46+00:00 The link you provided wasnt for the right KB - But I found that it was for server 2019 - Thank you:-)
But can you explain why I can google only One result on KB5031589? and I couldn´t find it on Microsoft Update Catalog?

Brent W 5 Reputation points2023-10-25T16:25:25.66+00:00 I stumbled upon this article with the same question. I tried Googling and got no results. That said, a colleague suggested that I try searching with Duck Duck Go. Sure enough, I searched the KB using DDG and actually got viable hits. I purposely created an account just so I could help ya guys out.
Searching DDG, I came across these 3 articles. How are why Google is unable to index something like these KBs. no clue? But I guess going forward to get an accurate representation of search results, one must now use multiple search engines to get information now.

2023-10-26T05:58:12.8+00:00 Hi Brent
A colleague of mine also suggested another browser to me, but I haven´t tried it yet - SO, thank you for your swift work:-)
The part with the combined LSU and SSU for server 2019 and 20H2 had slipped my attention.
