SP2019 Server Quick Launch Nav missing on Modern sites after Aug CU patch install
I just installed a new SharePoint 2019 Farm with the Dec 2020 CU using the AutoSPInstaller.com powershell installer and I am seeing the same thing.
The powershell installer choked and I had to setup the Default Site from the SharePoint Central Administration site. Any site I create has the same issue.
Installing KB4486675 did not fix it.
Oddly enough, the MySites web application work fine.
This week I decide to stand up a brand new farm, 5 new Windows 2019 Servers and SQL 2019.
Installed the farm using the SharePoint 2019 installer with no updates.
I did not use AutoSPInstaller since that was creating errors and crashes.
I still get the same problems. Then I ran the updates that Windows Update gave me until they were all done and then ran the Configuration Wizard on all the Servers and still no change.
I HAVE A WORKAROUND
It seems that if I create a new Web Application/site Collection NOT on port 80 everything is fine.
So I just made my Web Application/site Collection on port 2021 and it looks fine.
I decided to live on the edge and create a Web Application/site Collection on port 443 separate from my broken port 80 site and that one works too, so I think I will go with that one, better to turn on SSL anyway. Note: On my old Farm, creating my site on port 2021 worked, but 443 did not.
Tip: If creating a new Web Application on port 443 works for you, don't forget to use the FQDN and bind a SSL certificate to port 443 in IIS. If you created it without the FQDN, then add an Alternate access mapping for the FQDN for intranet.
Hi jobshopr,
Thank you for your workaround.
But it is not possible to change it in production in a big company because we use port 443.
We encountered the same problem and we saw if you logged in to the server with another account, the problem was resolved.
Also if you logged in to another server, with the account having the issue on the first server, the problem was resolved.
No display problems with IE11.
Hope Microsoft will provide an update.
Thank you.Hi
At modern browsers, it was a cache problem. here in our environment we only had to hit schift-F5 and the Navigationmenu was loaded and displayed. I told this to our Helpdesk. Never heard abou this problem again... Could it be so easy?
Cheers Thomas
