The 20H2 update for my Windows 10 (June 11, 2021) is causing constant explorer crashes and closures if accessing any applications from the taskbar. The update just before this one stopped me from right clicking on the taskbar. This has been fixed in the 20H2 update, but not without bringing all sorts of other issues to the table (including the explorer/taskbar issue). Microsoft, I’m sick of having to workaround new bugs every single update you force on to my machine!
>Issue with Microsoft Edge Legacy being removed but Microsoft Edge (new) not being installed if W10 is installed using custom offline media or ISO images.<
I used an ISO to go to 21H1 and don't have either edge installed, now I know why.
Maybe if I run another ISO, IE will go POOF! too. No need to press my luck, I suppose.

Which Security update applies to Server 2019? It’s technically v1809 but, well, server-flavored.
The articles shows the vulns for it but no link to get the update.
Running 2004.
I was surprised there was only one update, kb5003637.
There was no Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool update.
I went into Program and Features, under View installed updates, and it also shows a service stack update.
Nice summary as usual. Noticed something…

Wasn’t May 2021 supposed to be the end of security updates for Windows 1909?! did Microsoft forget LOL
Nice to see I don’t have to deal with the headache of upgrading and fixing things that will get broken in the process, yet…
1909 updates were extended a year for education and enterprise
ohh crap! looks like I have to upgrade…

Does this fix the issue where news and interest screwed up the system tray? Does Microsoft even know this issue exist?
Nope.
Yeah, screwed mine up too. Uninstalled KB5003637 fixed it for me. Waiting for MS to fix this.
