[German]Regarding the January 2020 security updates for Windows Server 2008 R2, there are some reports that the machines go into recovery mode after that date.

There have been surprisingly few issues reports for the January 2020 patchday. Only Woody Leonhard noticed some reports of problems with Windows Server 2008 R2, which reached its support end on Jan 14, 2020.
Multiple reports of Server 2008 R2 systems rebooting to recovery mode after installing January patches. Not clear which patches, or the circumstances. Can you confirm? https://t.co/NF5ZBfwWRK

They should boot into the Recover Mode after the update installation. Any of you here whose Windows Server 2008 R2 is affected?
Faced this issue with VMware systems for 2008 R2 servers as well as bare metal servers across different manufacturers. Trying to identify the problematic patch..
Any update?
I got a user feedback as a comment for the German edition of this blog post (see Link in the article header). An admin wrote, that this helps: KB4512506 / KB4512486 winload.efi Windows cannot verify the digital signature
Hi,
Try this :
When you are in safemode.
– Windows Start menu
– Exec command
– msconfig.exe
– Start tab
– Uncheck Secure Start in Start Option
– reboot the server
I experienced same issue, after installing January 2020 updates on Server 2008 R2, system booted into Recovery Mode loop. Only fix that worked was to reverse patches. From Recovery Mode go to Command Prompt and run this command. Reboot.
