KB5055526: Overview with user sentiment and feedback

Overview

KB5055526 is an April 2025 security update for Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2025. This update includes both a servicing stack update (SSU) and latest cumulative update (LCU) combined into a single package. The update addresses several security vulnerabilities and makes quality improvements to the Windows servicing stack, which is the component responsible for installing Windows updates.

General Purpose

The primary purpose of this update is to enhance system security and improve the Windows update installation process. It includes protections for vulnerabilities in Kerberos Authentication, particularly addressing an issue related to certificate authorities in the Windows root store. The update also includes improvements to Daylight Saving Time handling for the Aysen region in Chile, and modifications to the System Guard Runtime Monitor Broker service. Additionally, it creates a new inetpub folder as part of security enhancements, regardless of whether IIS is enabled on the device.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment towards this update appears cautious but generally positive. While it addresses important security vulnerabilities and system improvements, there are some known issues that administrators should be aware of. The update has been noted to cause some concerns with Citrix components and Active Directory Group Policy logging, though workarounds are available. The issues appear to be limited in scope and primarily affect enterprise environments rather than home users.

Known Issues

• Devices with Citrix Session Recording Agent (SRA) version 2411 may fail to complete installation of the January 2025 Windows security update
• The Windows Event Viewer might display errors related to SgrmBroker.exe on devices with updates from January 14, 2025 or later
• Active Directory Group Policy audit logon/logoff events in local policy might not show as enabled even when functioning correctly
