Windows Update KB KB4535680 failed to install to Server 2016 PowerEdge R540

Windows Update KB KB4535680 failed to install to Server 2016 PowerEdge R540

Microsoft Advised

This security update makes improvements to Secure Boot DBX for the supported Windows versions listed in the "Applies to" section. Key changes include the following:

  • Windows devices that has Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) based firmware can run with Secure Boot enabled. The Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database (DBX) prevents UEFI modules from loading. This update adds modules to the DBX.

    A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in secure boot. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability might bypass secure boot and load untrusted software.

    This security update addresses the vulnerability by adding the signatures of the known vulnerable UEFI modules to the DBX.

 

 

 

Issue

Workaround

Some original equipment manufacturer (OEM) firmware might not allow for the installation of this update.

To resolve this issue, contact your firmware OEM.

    Same here - no help - neither from DELL nor from Microsoft!

    I assume Dell missed to release a compatible BIOS version....

    We have the same issue with our T640 servers on Windows Server 2019, also with the latest BIOS version 2.9.4. The Update fails on installation process, we have hidden the updates for the moment, so our servers don't spam with error messages.

    Unfortunately we don't have a fix for this, you should check with Microsoft if there is a patch or a fix for this.

    Thanks

    I am having the same problem with our Dell R440 Ready Nodes running Server 2019 and a R330 running Server 2016.  I get the same error in the CBS log.  I have other equipment that installed the update fine in the same environment but the ones that error out are all Dells.  It is becoming a bigger problem as it is interfering with other patches when it rolls back the failure and you cannot skip or hide the update.  The update has been unsuccessful for a month now, someone please look into this before too many vulnerabilities go unpatched.
