Direct Download Links — Windows Server 2019 General Availability (LTSC): Datacenter, Standard, Essentials & Hyper-V Server 2019. 180-Day Evaluation .ISO & .VHD

Microsoft: ?We have temporarily removed all media for Windows Server 2019? 🙁

Earlier this month, on October/2/2018 to be exact, Microsoft released the Windows Server 2019 product family (along with Windows 10 version 1809, Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC and Windows Server 1809). Just 2?3 days thereafter, by October/5/2018, Microsoft mysteriously removed all those products from the web! According to Microsoft, this is due to a bug regarding Known Folder Redirection (KFR) which affects multiple platforms:

?We have paused the rollout of Wndows10 version 1809; Affected Platforms: Windows Server 2019?

Consequentially, it?s not possible to download Windows Server 2019 Datacenter, Standard, Essentials or Hyper-V Server 2019 from the Microsoft Evaluation Center or from other sources (e.g. my.visutalstudio). Or is it?

?We have paused the rollout of the Windows 10 (version 1809)? reports of missing files after updating?
