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 uninstalled KB5009586. When I look at installed updates, I see the following Microsoft Updates are still installed from over the weekend:KB5008881, KB5008865, KB5008888. My DC is still randomly rebooting with the following message in the Event Logs:
The process wininit.exe has initiated the restart of "My computer" on behalf of user for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found. Reason Code: 0x50006. Comment: The system process 'C:\Windows\system32\lsass.exe' terminated unexpectedly with status code 255. The system will shut down and restart. Event ID: 1074.
Should I uninstall the other updates that were installed? I haven't seen anything online about those yet, but after uninstalling KB5009586, I am still seeing the server randomly reboot.
Thanks!
This is the one for 2012 (non R2)

This out of band is supposed to clear it all up.
- bpielaCopper ContributorThis looks good but my Server is running Windows Server 2012, not Windows Server 2012 R2. I don't think it will work for me.
