Your journey just got a little more exciting. Buckle up, because Cumulative Update 14 (CU14) is here, and it’s packed with some wild fixes that you won’t want to miss.

## What’s New in CU14?

This update is like a Swiss Army knife for your SQL Server, addressing a variety of issues that could make your life a whole lot easier. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside:

### 1. VSS Backups: The Ghost of Databases Past
Ever had VSS backups fail because you deleted a database? It’s like your server is haunted by the ghosts of databases past. Well, CU14 is here to exorcise those spirits and ensure your backups run smoothly.

### 2. The SQL Server Launchpad: The Service That Never Sleeps
Imagine a service that just won’t shut down, no matter how nicely you ask. That’s been the SQL Server Launchpad for some users. With CU14, you can finally put this insomniac service to bed.

### 3. Availability Groups: The Synchronization Mirage
You’ve just executed a “successful” failover, but your Availability Groups replicas are showing “Not Synchronizing” for several minutes. It’s like a cruel mirage in the desert of database management. CU14 brings the oasis, fixing this pesky issue.

### 4. Linux Memory Limits: The Ignored Boundaries
Running SQL Server on Linux? You might have noticed it sometimes ignores memory limits, like a rebellious teenager. CU14 steps in as the responsible adult, ensuring your server respects the boundaries you set.

### 5. Plan Cache Leaks: The Sneaky Culprits
Plan cache leaks and access violations due to Cardinality Estimation feedback race conditions can be as sneaky as ninjas in the night. CU14 shines a spotlight on these culprits, fixing the leaks and violations.

### 6. Change Tracking Auto Cleanup: The CPU Burner
Even when Change Tracking (CT) isn’t enabled, auto cleanup can burn through your CPU like there’s no tomorrow. CU14 puts an end to this unnecessary resource hogging, giving your CPU a much-needed break.
