windows server 2012 r2 - Shutdown button is missing


I have installed Windows Server 2012 Standard and shutdown button is missing:


enter image description here


It should look something like this:

I know how to shutdown windows with comandline, but that is not what I am asking, I am trying to figure out what went wrong, why it is missing, since other installations of same windows server have it.


Answer



The Shutdown button is missing


You are missing KB2919355.



The short answer is KB2919355 needs installing. HOWEVER, you
need to make sure you install the following updates in this order:



  • Prerequisite: KB2919442

  • Install KB2919355 that has multiple downloads in it, which can be directly downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center:



  • NOTE: Once downloaded, these updates need installed in the following order



    • clearcompressionflag.exe

    • KB2919355 (Reboot after installation, if fixed you can skip the rest)

    • KB2932046

    • KB2959977

    • KB2937592

    • KB2938439

    • KB2934018



Once KB2919355 is installed and you reboot, you should now see
the Power and Search buttons on the start screen as displayed below:

Final Notes


Once KB2919355 is installed, run Windows Updates and you’ll
probably need to install a few hundred updates again.
