We have been made aware of a recent Security Update for Windows Server 2022, which when installed will cause a Server 2022 Virtual Machine to stop booting.

VMware has released a hotfix to address this while Microsoft produces a permanent fix.

We will be installing the hotfix on Cluster 1 this evening.

We do not anticipate any downtime for customer workloads, as we will stage the hotfix installation between hosts in cluster 1.
