I installed the 2024-08 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019, and the server does not boot properly, will not start all services, login with Remote Desktop is slow, and none of the Exchange Server services are starting.
What do I do now?

Hello,
Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.
First, you could try uninstalling the update and see if that resolves the issue. To do this, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View update history > Uninstall updates. Find the update in question and click Uninstall.
I hope the information above is helpful.
Best regards

You are a life saver! That worked perfectly. Thank you so much!
For anyone else reading this, the offending update is Windows Security Update for Windows Server 2019 KB5041578.
This worked great. Thank you very much.
The error is with update KB5041578. Strangely, in the update history, there are two entries for 2024-08 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019 KB5041578. I uninstalled the first one, and that corrected the issue.
