This CVE is among the lower half of tracked Microsoft CVEs by EPSS exploit probability.
Despite the Denial of Service label, CVE-2025-62463 carries a High severity rating with CVSS 8.8, which is unusually elevated for a DoS and suggests the DirectX Graphics Kernel flaw may allow more than a simple crash. It affects Windows Server 2022 (including Server Core) and Windows 10 Version 21H2 x64, so both graphical and headless server deployments are in scope. It is not in CISA KEV and EPSS puts exploit probability at 5 percent, so this is a patch-on-schedule item rather than an emergency.
