KB5078766: Windows Server 2019 Security Update (March 2026)
KB5078766 is a High security update for Windows Server 2019, released 2026-03-10. It closes 40 CVEs with a maximum CVSS of 8.8. It is the fourth largest of the 38 updates Microsoft shipped that month, by CVEs closed.
Update summary
Fixes 40 CVEs. Most severe CVSS 8.8 (High). EPSS exploit probability up to 4.7%. Among the top half of tracked Microsoft updates by EPSS exploit probability.
A newer security update for Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems has shipped since this one: KB5089548 (2026-07-14). For cumulative update families the newer package includes these fixes, so installing that one is usually the shorter path. Verify against your own update rings before you skip this package.
KB5078766 is the March 2026 rollup for Windows 10 version 1809 and Windows Server 2019, closing 40 CVEs with a top rating of High (CVSS 8.8). None are listed in CISA KEV or tied to ransomware, and the highest EPSS is only 4 percent, so this is a patch-before-it-is-weaponized situation rather than an active-fire drill. The 1809 focus makes it relevant mainly to shops still running that older branch, including Server 2019 domain infrastructure.
Do this: Schedule KB5078766 through your standard Server 2019 and Windows 10 1809 patch ring this cycle, prioritizing domain controllers and internet-facing servers.
