Description
https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/blob/af3e8c9577ed29d7572581418a8274fd6ce7709b/src/chocolatey/infrastructure/platforms/Platform.cs#L122
Noticed it while trying to debug failing python install in startup script on a 2019 server. It tries to install KB2999226 which isn't applicable for 2019 Server.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Open src/chocolatey/infrastructure/platforms/Platform.cs at line 122 and inspect how Windows Server 10.x is identified. Update the platform version so it is treated as Windows Server 2019 rather than 2016, then verify that the resulting package prerequisites no longer select KB2999226 for 2019 Server.
