After installing SQL Server 2019 CU2, SQL Server Agent stops working - sql-server

I have installed SQL Server 2019 CU2 and after that SQL Server Agent start is consuming too much CPU resulting into skip job schedules.
Although the agent service is running but it looks like hang and didn't process / kick off any jobs.
Once I re-start the Agent service it starts working again (cpu = 0), but then after some time 1-2 hours CPU intake in high and jobs do not run.
Is anybody else facing same issue with SQL Server 2019 CU2?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

There is already a thread for this on DBA StackExchange. The issue was introduced in CU2 and will be fixed in CU3. If you're facing this, the workaround is to revert to CU1 until you are able to upgrade to CU3.

SQL Server 2014 - Windows could not start SQL server on local computer

I have an AWS instance, on which SQL Server 2014 has been running for more than 3 years.
But a few days ago, suddenly the SQL Server stopped running.
I checked the server and tried to start SQL Server service from services, from SQL Server Configuration Manager etc. but I'm not able to start the server and got following error:
So I checked event viewer entries and I found these two errors:
I started some research work over web to overcome on this issue and I found that I can start SQL service using below command using T902:
net start MSSQL$REVCORD /T902
And SQL Server service started successfully.
But I want to make SQL Server / services back to normal as before so I can start / stop services normally.
I found on web that this cause is due to corruption in master SQL Server database, I don't have backup of master SQL Server database so I cannot restore it back.
I checked multiple threads over web and tried multiple things to overcome this issue but no luck.
So finally I decided to reinstall/recover SQL Server 2014, but I am getting another error while reinstalling:
Based on finding over web, all threads showing that I have to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server to make it normal again.
Please help! It's a live server with multiple calls continously so I cannot uninstall/reinstall SQL Server there due to possible data loss.
The first thing:
select * from sys.sysmessages where error = 5833
The message:
The affinity mask specified is greater than the number of CPUs supported or licensed on this edition of SQL Server.
Check your edition, and fix the affinity mask so that the number of CPUs satisfy the number which is supported by your edition.
You can fix it in SSMS on the Processors tab in your server properties, or using sp_configure

SQL Server 2014 always goes down every midnight (12 AM)

We have an SQL Server 2014 with a lot of Jobs that are scheduled every 12AM. They are around 70-80 jobs that will run at 12 AM. All jobs run successfully, then we just noticed that we can no longer access the SQL server on a client workstation, nor telnet the port of the SQL. The services are still running but when we try to restart the SQL Service, it does not restart successfully. The only way to make this work again is to restart the server.
This is now happening for 3 days straight and we cannot isolate what may be causing this.
We have checked all the logs in SQL and even the event logs of the windows but there is nothing to show about any error that may cause this.
There is no any scheduled task outside SQL Job that are scheduled at midnight.
Hope you can help me as this is a big issue on us since this is a production server and we cannot avail to have the server to restart every day.

SQL Server reporting services scheduler loops, running amok

We have a Windows Server 2008 R2, Service Pack 1 with an SQL Server 2008 R2 (Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition (64-bit), version 10.50.4042.0) for creating scheduled reports in SSRS. The Report Server services didn't start up after a server restart a while ago and when I noticed that after several days, I started the service. Then it began to loop thru all reports constantly, as if the server not was aware of that it had already done that report.
When I look in the table [ReportServer].[dbo].[ExecutionLogStorage] I can see that new reports are created constantly as fast as the previous report is ready. It looks to loop thru all reports.
I found two errors in Windows application log which maybe are connected to the problem, or not.
Failed to unload app domain DefaultDomain. The following exception occurred: Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015).
ProcessName: ReportingServicesService
ProcessId: 4308
Failed to trace event: System.AppDomainUnloadedException: Attempted to access an unloaded AppDomain.
I really don't understand what to do. The server has been running for several years, doing the scheduled jobs without any problem. I have restarted SQL Server Agent, Reporting Services as well as the whole server and it doesn't make any difference.
I am thankful for any help.

How to fix slow deployment to SQL Server 2014 in an Azure VM from Visual Studio

When I had a regular server located in my country (Sweden) running SQL Server 2008 the deployment of my SQL Database Project in Visual Studio took about 20 seconds. After I changed to a SQL Server 2014 running on an Azure VM located in California the deployment takes roughly 2 minutes.
The first step is the one that takes time, that is 'Creating publish preview' which takes 2 minutes.
Is there any way to speed up this process? I still want to deploy through VS and not create a script that I manually have to execute on the SQL server.
If deployment times are an issue for development then I would use a localdb instance and push your changes to azure every hour/check in/day etc
Cloud db's are great but they slow down development as they are located near you, also your development will grind to a halt if your connection goes down or your db host is migrated etc.

SQL Server 2012 Using CPU when Idle

My SQL Server 2012 is using 4-20% of my i7, but I don't have any application using SQL Server. This is Enterprise installed on a Win 7 box I use for development. I thought maybe it was just updating statistics or something but hours later it is still using the CPU for something. Can someone please help me figure out what background processes might be running. I don't have SQL Agent installed. Just the engine, integration services, and the Management Studio.
Did you check sys.sysprocesses for any running processes.
