   Hi Stefan,
   After installing this CU on my development environment, I noticed that retracting a solution takes longer than before. Before installing the CU, It usually took 30 to 60 seconds. Now, it takes 3 to 5 minutes for a single solution.

   I tried using Central Administration, Remove-SPSolution with PowerShell and SPSolution.Retract from a C# console application, but it all behaves the same way. It seems like the timer job that retracts the solution is slowed down.

   I noticed this right after installing the CU. Could this behavior be caused by the CU?

   With respect to the fix applied in the May CU… I have installed the May CU in a 2016 and 2019 test environment. Both gave me an error that follows when running configuration wizard on the first server.

   Failed updating SecurityMode and ProtectionLevel in cluster. [Exception=System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: Cannot start service AppFabricCachingService on computer ‘wps-spsrch-t05.corp.wpsic.com’. —> System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start service AppFabricCachingService on computer ‘wps-spsrch-t05.corp.wpsic.com’. —> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it — End of inner exception stack trace — at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start(String[] args) at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.AdminApi.CacheAdmin.StartHostHelper(IHostConfiguration hostConfig, Boolean clusterCommand, Int32 hostTimeout) at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.AdminApi.CacheAdmin.StartExternalManagedCluster(IClusterConfigurationReader reader, ProgressDelegate progressDelegate, WriteErrorDelegate writeError, Int32 hostTimeout) at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.AdminApi.CacheAdmin.StartCluster(ProgressDelegate progressDelegate, WriteErrorDelegate writeError, Nullable1 quorumTimeout, Nullable1 hostTimeout) at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Commands.StartAFCacheClusterCommand.BeginProcessing() at System.Management.Automation.Cmdlet.DoBeginProcessing() at System.Management.Automation.CommandProcessorBase.DoBegin() — End of inner exception stack trace — at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.PipelineBase.Invoke(IEnumerable input) at Microsoft.SharePoint.DistributedCaching.Utilities.SPVelocityPowerShellWrapper.StartCacheCluster(String provider, String connectionString) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.UpdateClusterConfigurationInSPDistributedCache.Upgrade()]

   I dumped the cluster configuration and it appears to be correct per the article posted.

   <securityProperties>
<authorization>
<allow users="WSS_ADMIN_WPG" />
<allow users="WSS_WPG" />
</authorization>


   The AppFabricCachingService was disabled on this server. Why would this service be disabled and since the cluster configuration is correct, do I need to worry about this?

   Hi Stefan,

   RSS Web part seems broken in SP2019 environments. Any reported issues? Below is the error message from ULS log.

   RssWebPart: Exception handed to HandleRuntimeException.HandleException System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing. at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseDocumentContent() at System.Xml.XmlCharCheckingReader.Read() at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.XmlUrlDataSource.FetchData(String requestUrl) at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.BaseXmlDataSource.Execute(String request) at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.BaseXmlDataSource.GetXmlDocument() at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.SingleDataSource.GetXPathNavigatorInternal() at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.SingleDataSource.GetXPathNavigator() at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.DataFormWebPart.GetXPathNavigator(String viewPath) at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.DataFormWebPart.PrepareAndPerformTransform(Boolean bDeferExecuteTransform)

   Hi Stefan. With one of our SharePoint 2019 environment, we realized that if the site has Anonymous access, there is a security vulnerability issue. And we tested this issue different farms and ensured about the security vulnerability. It will not right to explain here. How can i inform your engineers about the security vulnerability.
