Security News > 2022 > December > Microsoft fixes Hyper-V VM problem caused by Patch Tuesday
Microsoft has pushed out an emergency fix for a problem in Windows Server caused by patch updates that made it impossible for some organizations to create virtual machines on Hyper-V hosts.
The issue arose after Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022 users installed two updates that were part of this month's Patch Tuesday releases.
The problem arose after users installed the KB5021249 and KB5021237 updates on Windows Server or Azure Stack HCI hosts.
Now organizations can get a standalone package for the OOB updates by searching for the KB update number in the Microsoft Update Catalog and manually import them into Windows Server Update Services, with instructions found here, and Endpoint Configuration Manager.
"You do not need to apply any previous update before installing these cumulative updates," Microsoft wrote.
The Patch Tuesday updates have been causing a few headaches for Windows users.
