It is the second version of the server operating system based on the Windows 10 platform, after Windows Server 2016.

Development and release[]

Windows Server 2019 was announced on March 20, 2018, and the first Windows Insider preview version was released on the same day.[2] It was released for general availability on October 2 of the same year.[3]

On October 6, 2018, distribution of Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763[4]) was paused while Microsoft investigated an issue with user data being deleted during an in-place upgrade.[5] It affected systems where a user profile folder (e.g. Documents, Music or Pictures) had been moved to another location, but data was left in the original location.[6] As Windows Server 2019 is based on the Windows version 1809 codebase, it too was removed from distribution at the time,[7] but was re-released on November 13, 2018.[8] The software product life cycle for Server 2019 was reset in accordance with the new release date.[7]

Web browser[]

Microsoft Edge did not support Server 2019 at release. Microsoft considers Internet Explorer 11 a "compatibility layer," not a browser. Edge added support in January 2020, but Server 2019 does not install it by default. Microsoft encourages server and enterprise users to install Edge.[11]
