Microsoft has rolled out Windows 10 Build 19045.5794 (KB5055612) to Windows Insiders in the Release Preview Channel, specifically for those on version 22H2. This update addresses two key issues: first, it resolves a case-sensitivity problem in the GPU paravirtualization check within the Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2), which could have impeded GPU paravirtualization support. Secondly, it enhances OS security by updating the Windows Kernel Vulnerable Driver Blocklist, adding new drivers that pose security risks and have been implicated in Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks.
In summary, the update not only improves the functionality of WSL2 but also bolsters the overall security posture of Windows 10 by proactively blocking vulnerable drivers. As Microsoft continues to refine Windows 10, users can expect further enhancements and security measures in future updates. It is advisable for Insiders to install this update to benefit from these improvements and to provide feedback to Microsoft regarding their experiences
