The product group released the August 2020 Cumulative Update for SharePoint Server 2019 product family. SharePoint Server 2019 is patched with a language dependent and a language independent fix.
The KB article for August 2020 CU will be available at the following Location in a couple of hours:
- KB 4484472 – August 2020 Update for SharePoint Server 2019 (language independent) – This is also a security update!
- KB 4484471 – August 2020 Update for SharePoint Server 2019 (language dependent) – This is also a security update!
The download for August 2020 CU is available through the following link:
- Download August 2020 Update for SharePoint Server 2019 (language independent) – This is also a security update!
- Download August 2020 Update for SharePoint Server 2019 (language dependent) – This is also a security update!
Important: It is required to install both fixes (language dependent and independent) to fully patch a SharePoint server. This applies also to servers which do not have language packs installed. The reason is that each SharePoint installation includes a language dependent component together with a language independent component. If additional language packs are added later (only) the language dependent fix has to be applied again.
It is irrelevant which language you pick on the drop down in download center. Even the language dependent fixes are all in the same package for all languages.
After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2019 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm. If you prefer to run the command line version psconfig.exe ensure to have a look here for the correct options.
Please ensure to have a look at the SharePoint Patching Best Practices before applying new fixes.

Hey, just to update you.
I ran the config wizard again and all seems ok now.
If anyone experiencing similar issue, steps I took:
Installed Language independent update.
Rebooted server
Installed Language dependent updated (no restart required).
Ran config wizard – completed successfully.
Launched a site and no edit button or new button appeared.
Re-ran the config wizard – completed successfully.
Launched a site and all seemed fine.

Hi Richard. Can you be more precise? I installed this CU on our prod farm and I can edit pages (through cog and Edit page). No need to run config wizard again. There is no issue published on official M$ pages related to corresponding KB article.
With best wishes.
