A few days ago, Microsoft released May 2024 Patch Tuesday updates for all supported Windows 10 and Windows 11 versions and editions. As it happens sometimes, shortly after the release, Microsoft confirmed a new bug. Fortunately for home users (unfortunately for IT Admins), it only affects Windows Server 2019. Consumer-focused editions, such as Home or Professional, should get the latest updates without problems. According to a post on the official Microsoft Learn website, the May 2024 security update might fail to install with a 0x800f0982 error: Microsoft is working on a resolution for the problem. Although there are no official workarounds from Microsoft as of right now, the clue is right there in the description. As reported by Borncity, some IT Admins managed to fix the 0x800f0982 error on Windows Server 2019 by installing the EN-US language pack: Other users on Reddit confirmed that adding the EN-US language pack fixes the problem. On the bright side, the May 2024 Patch Tuesday update resolved a problem with broken VPN connections after the April 2024 Patch Tuesday update. However, the problem with broken profile pictures remains ongoing. Source

Following the release of this month's Patch Tuesday updates, Microsoft issued a notification that the latest cumulative updates successfully fixed performance issues on certain systems with Windows Server 2019. Microsoft acknowledged performance problems on Windows Server 2019 by the end of August 2024. The company then confirmed that the issue originates from the August 2024 Patch Tuesday updates, namely KB5041578. Affected systems would experience general system slowdowns, unresponsiveness, and high CPU usage, especially when running cryptographic services. Initial reports and investigations showed that the root cause of the problem is antivirus software performing scans of certain Windows update directories: Here are the symptoms that affected Windows Server 2019 may exhibit after installing KB5041578: Now, with KB5043050, all those performance issues are gone. However, it is worth noting that the problem does not affect regular users with systems running Windows 10 or 11, Home or Professional—only Windows Server 2019 was hit. You can learn more about performance issues in Windows Server 2019 KB5041578 in a post on the official Windows documentation website.
