Windows 2012 DC rebooting at random times
Over the weekend, I installed the latest Windows Updates on my DC running Windows 2012. When I view my Update History, I see that KB5009586 and KB5009720 were both installed. I have since uninstall...
This is the one for 2012 (non R2)

This looks good but my Server is running Windows Server 2012, not Windows Server 2012 R2. I don't think it will work for me.

- Dave Patrick, I guess I got one more question if you can help. I see that the latest servicing stack update (SSU) is strongly recommeded before I apply the update. The latest servicing stack was release in April of 2021. I don't know if I ever installed it. I have pretty much installed all updates during 2021. What is a servicing stack update and do I really need to install something so old? One other question. I had since uninstalled KB5009586. Should I re-install it before I apply this out of band update? Thanks very much!
Some info here about SSUs
Servicing stack updates - Windows Deployment | Microsoft Docs
in most cases an SSU is a requirement to installing a later cumulative update. As to the out of band updates; these are fixes for the problems of the Jan 11th updates. If you uninstalled Jan 11th then you should not need to OOB update.
- Just wanted to follow up. I tried to install the SSU but it was already installed. I was still having the reboot problems after I initially uninstalled update KB5009586. In any case, I reinstalled that update and then applied the Out of Band update. The server hasn't rebooted since I installed the OOB update. Thanks very much for your assistance.
