Microsoft's latest Windows update breaks VPNs, and there's no fix
Microsoft's most recent security update for Windows 10 and Windows 11 may cause VPNs to fail to connect, Microsoft warns. There is no fix.
"Microsoft's latest update breaks [some] VPNs and there's no fix [yet]"
Windows is getting worse and worse, but do we have to spin legitimate bugs as some nefarious plot?
135It's also very nice how this site tries to launch a new tab to ask to enable notifications.
48click bait never changes or whatever.
20Windows is getting worse and worse
and so is the press :( websites and content creators enshittification is as bad as other companies (one could even argue they have been among the first to do that)
7Too late, there's a little blood in the water so now everyone hates Microsoft and is pouncing on every drop they think they smell. Being part of an angry mob is fun!
Don't worry, in a couple of weeks or months some other big company or rich person will become the focus and everyone will forget about Microsoft again.

Sure there is, abandon Windows.
51Not at work, I can’t.
29yup. i'm tied to unreal engine 5.
(yes, i know there's a version for linux. i need to be on windows for the latest updates and work though.)
5No, but at work it's someone else's problem. I'm so glad that my employer agreed to replace my Windows machine with a Mac.
4Linux for VPN, VM for Windows :p

There's no alternative, Linux doesn't meet my needs as a PC user so I'm stuck with windows.
5I guess you'll have to accept your fate.

This seems like bullshit to me. I've not seen anyone complaining their VPN isn't working. And any business with staff using VPNs would not be happy if they managed to let that update get applied.
38I noticed my main VPN and backup VPN failing to connect the other day, but that was 3-4 days ago. Haven't tried since, because I switched to Pop!_OS in that time.
At the time I thought it was just my ISP being my ISP.
E: Both with Wireguard and OpenVPN, across multiple servers.
9I've been dealing with a VPN failure at work.
About 80% of my day has been lost due to access issues into the secure space I work, since about 6 days back.
6Running Windows 11, is updated, VPN works perfectly

Okay quick question::
All vpns?
Or is there a list of affected v unaffected??
13Don't trust every "article" on some shitty website.
3Well yeah. That’s kinda the point I was trying to make…
“It breaks VPNs!!”
Name one….
Oh yeah like a whole bUnCh!!!!!
Name….. one…
—- and in two articles I’ve seen they still have not named one. Great work there “journalists”

Coincidentally I saw Edge pop up an ad for Microsoft VPN for the first time as soon as I started it today... Hmmm
12Glad I dumped Windows in favor of an OS that doesn’t suck.

Perhaps click bait, but based on MS' own list of issues with April's upgrade patchset.
8I'm running windows and my nordvpn still works. So maybe this article shouldn't even exist and the OP should lose all credibility when ti comes to anything technology related.
6Wouldn't uninstalling the update fix it?
5Wouldn't uninstalling windows fix it permanently?

5Jesus christ microsoft. Fuck it, I don't need that windows exclusive software I was missing that bad, back to arch.

3Tailscale still works here.
3Vpns are working fine. This article is dogshit.
3So because VPN works for you, it's impossible for it to not work for literally anybody else?
3I work for an MSP managing thousands of workstations and servers. I'm also the "VPN guy" so I deal with them constantly every single day.
Perhaps you should ask questions before making assumptions.
