   Improvements and fixes section in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/5002836 does not seem right (SPSE, STSADM)

      Hi Atis,
      the information is correct.
      Up till January 2026 CU SPSE had a dependency on stsadm.exe to recycle the timer services.
      As stsadm.exe no longer exists the timer service recycling job was not functional.
      February CU has now implemented the functionality differently and removed the dependency on stsadm.exe
      Cheers,
      Stefan

         Are you saying the timer job in SharePoint Server 2019 also no longer depends on stsadm.exe now?

            Ah! Now I see the problem.
            The KB for SP2019 language pack contains the incorrect information.
            No of course not. This is a SPSE only change – and the other details also need to be reviewed.
            Let me talk to the relevant team to get this updated.
            Cheers,
            Stefan

      CVE‑2026‑20948 lists SharePoint Server 2019, but the KB article doesn’t.

         Hi Atis,
         CVE-2026-20948 was already fixed in January CU.
         You will find it in this KB article:

   Hi Stefan,
   I’ve noticed that since installing this update on our DEV environment, we can no longer create new list forms using SharePoint Designer. We receive an error stating: Could not save the list changes to the server
   I’ve already raised this with Microsoft Support to investigate, but wondered if anyone else has reported the same issue? Or experienced this issue in the past?
   Kind regards,
   Calum

      Hi Calum,

      my suggestion would be to take a fiddler trace and check the error message returned from the server. In case it is talking about an unsafe control – we have a fix available. If it is something different it might require more investigation. Feel free to provide details from fiddler response here.

      Cheers,
      Stefan

      Hello Laur,

      I do not know if Microsoft will take much effort into any fixes for SharePoint Designer anymore – even if there should be still some support until July this year:
      https://mc.merill.net/message/MC1230891
      https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/sharepoint-designer-2013

      What I want to say is the following: for middle term purposes I would not rely on SharePoint Desginer at all.

      Best regards

      Gerald

         I see, sorry. I have the same issue as Calum; We can no longer create new list forms using SharePoint Designer. We receive an error stating: Could not save the list changes to the server. We use SharePoint 2019 with January patches applied.

            Hi Laur,
            Thanks for mentioning this. Glad to know that we’re not alone with this issue!
            I made a mistake in my previous comment: we actually have the January 2026 patches installed on our SP2019 DEV environment. So it sounds like something has changed recently as the last set of patches we installed was October 2025.
            Out of curiosity, what was the last set of patches you installed when you didn’t have this issue?

            Hi Laur,
            did you open a support case for this?
            If yes, it would be great if you could send me the SR number using the “Contact the blog author” option at the top right of this page.
            Cheers,
            Stefan
