KB5055518 is a High security update for Windows Server 2019, released 2025-04-08. It closes 59 CVEs with a maximum CVSS of 8.8. At least one of them is actively exploited (CISA KEV) and linked to ransomware, so this is a deploy-first update. The most likely of them to be attacked is CVE-2025-26663, which FIRST.org rates at 14% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Update summary
Fixes 59 CVEs. At least one is actively exploited (CISA KEV). Most severe CVSS 8.8 (High). EPSS exploit probability up to 14%. One is linked to ransomware. Among the top half of tracked Microsoft updates by EPSS exploit probability.
A newer security update for Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems has shipped since this one: KB5094041 (2026-08-11). For cumulative update families the newer package includes these fixes, so installing that one is usually the shorter path. Verify against your own update rings before you skip this package.

KB5055518 is the April 8, 2025 rollup for Windows 10 Version 1809 and Windows Server 2019, closing 62 CVEs. At least one of these is already in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and tied to ransomware activity, and the batch tops out at High severity (CVSS 8.8) with EPSS reaching 13%. The confirmed exploitation plus ransomware linkage means this is not a routine patch cycle for your 1809 and Server 2019 fleet.
Do this: Deploy KB5055518 to all Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019 systems now, prioritizing internet-facing and domain-critical servers because of the ransomware-linked KEV entry.

Citrix
Symptoms
Devices that have certain Citrix components installed might be unable to complete installation of the January 2025 Windows security update. This issue was observed on devices with Citrix Session Recording Agent (SRA) version 2411. The 2411 version of this application was released in December 2024.
Affected devices might initially download and apply the January 2025 Windows security update correctly, such as via the Windows Update page in Settings. However, when restarting the device to complete the update installation, an error message with text similar to “Something didn’t go as planned. No need to worry – undoing changes” appears. The device will then revert to the Windows updates previously present on the device.
This issue likely affects a limited number of organizations as version 2411 of the SRA application is a new version. Home users are not expected to be affected by this issue.
Workaround
The issue has been resolved in Citrix Session Recording Agent version 2503, released on April 28, 2025, and newer versions.
For details, see the documentation provided by Citrix at " Microsoft's January Security Update Fails/Reverts on a machine with 2411 Session Recording Agent ".
