About this tag
The kb5059087 tag covers emergency out-of-band Windows Server updates released by Microsoft to fix a critical issue where Windows containers running under Hyper-V isolation mode fail to launch. This problem was introduced by the 2025.04 B container images released on April 8, 2025, and occurs when the update level of the container does not match the host's utility virtual machine (UVM), causing compatibility problems and startup failures. The updates address system file mismatches that disrupt Windows Server 2025 and other affected versions. IT administrators managing Hyper-V containers should apply these updates to restore normal container operations.
