Hi,

KB5022842 - After installing this update on guest virtual machines (VMs) running Windows Server 2022 on some versions of VMware ESXi, Windows Server 2022 might not start up. Only Windows Server 2022 VMs with Secure Boot enabled are affected by this issue.

VMWare says KB5023705 this patch will resolve it on this article https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/90947

but, Microsoft says KB5023705 this patch will cause the issue on this article -KB5023705

Both are contradicting information.

Can anyone help me with this?

    I'd reach out to vmware to confirm the best path forward.
