cluster service

About this tag
The cluster service tag covers discussions about the Windows Server Failover Cluster service, including troubleshooting and fixes for issues that cause service restarts, node quarantines, and virtual machine reboots. Recent content focuses on a regression in Windows Server 2019 introduced by the July 2025 cumulative update (KB5062557), where the cluster service failed on hosts using BitLocker-protected Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). Microsoft's August 2025 update (KB5063877) resolved this issue. Topics include patch testing, high-availability risk management, and operational lessons for administrators managing failover clusters.
