Subject: [PATCH] ci: Pin CI runner to windows-2022

Update the GitHub Actions workflow to use runs-on: windows-2022 for the build job. The WDK driver build is validated against Visual Studio 2022 and windows-latest is moving to VS 2026, so pinning to windows-2022 prevents unexpected toolchain changes; added an inline comment explaining this.
