Microsoft says October updates didn’t actually fix VPN issues

Microsoft acknowledged that October 2026 Windows 11 cumulative updates did not actually resolve a bug affecting Always On virtual private network (VPN) connections, despite being marked as fixed in release notes. The company mistakenly flagged the issue as remediated when it remained unresolved.

Why it matters: Windows 11 users relying on Always On VPN for remote connectivity need to know the fix is not yet available and should plan for continued workarounds or defer updates.
