Hello,

I have the same issue with our SharePoint 2019 environment after installing kb4486676 October CU.

Anyone else found a solution? Our workaround is to change the default navigation from Home.aspx to Documents.aspx

This affected the whole farm (thousands of sites)

I found others with similar issues

Missing left navigation in 3 consecutive patches.  You would think MS devs and testers would have noticed this by now.  Real slack units.

 

Can anyone confirm if the Nov patch fixes this ?

      MSaeed7 - Hello everyone, we are facing the same issue too. I installed the latest Dec 2020 KB hoping that would resolve the issue but it didn't. I haven't installed the Oct 2020 KB at all.. Can I install the Oct 2020 KB now? or will this impact the farm ?any help is greatly appreciated.

      This did not work or us.

       

      It seems to be related to the edit/publish options in the grey bar that goes above our news content. Every single site page with edit/publish is affected. The javascript is a mess of errors when you view the code on the page. 

       

      Other documents, or system pages show the modern menu just fine but this is not how sharepoint is typically viewed by most people in an organization.  We're about 2 seconds away from just switching to dokuwiki or something else. This has been weeks.

        We installed the November CU. Still same problem. The Nav is available on Google Chrome and the old IE11.

        Please Microsoft  fix this problem!
