Microsoft has admitted it wrongly reported a Windows 11 VPN problem as fixed in the October updates. Some staff working remotely may still be unable to connect.

• What it is: Always On VPN connections can get stuck on "Connecting" or fail after a first failed attempt.
• Who is affected: Windows 11 24H2 and later devices that installed the September 2026 updates and use automatic VPN protocol selection.
• The risk: Remote staff may lose access to the office network and business systems.
• Workaround: Your IT provider can change the VPN profile to a single protocol (SSTP only or IKEv2 only).
• Fix status: Microsoft says a permanent fix is planned in an update in the coming weeks.

If your team uses Always On VPN and has connection trouble, contact us and we can apply the workaround. Source: BleepingComputer.
