Overview
KB5055612 is a preview update for Windows 10 version 22H2 released on April 22, 2025. This non-security update includes quality improvements and addresses several key issues. The update is particularly notable for its improvements to internal Windows OS functionality and graphics handling in Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2).
This update comes at a critical time as support for Windows 10 is scheduled to end in October 2025. Microsoft recommends users consider moving to Windows 11 after October 14, 2025, as they will no longer provide free software updates, technical assistance, or security fixes for Windows 10.
General Purpose
The primary purpose of this update is to enhance system stability and address specific functionality issues. It includes improvements to GPU paravirtualization support in WSL2, fixing a case-sensitivity issue that could potentially cause GPU paravirtualization support to fail. The update also includes updates to the Windows Kernel Vulnerable Driver Blocklist to enhance security against BYOVD (Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver) attacks. Additionally, it contains miscellaneous security improvements to internal Windows OS functionality.
General Sentiment
The general sentiment towards this update appears cautious but generally positive. While it addresses important functionality issues and includes security improvements, there are some known issues that users should be aware of. The update is particularly relevant for organizations using Citrix components and those utilizing WSL2 with GPU paravirtualization. The fact that this is a preview update suggests it should be thoroughly tested in non-production environments first.
Known Issues

- The System Guard Runtime Monitor Broker service (SgrmBroker.exe) may display Event 7023 errors in Event Viewer
