New Windows 11 update may quietly break some work VPNs
A recent Windows 11 security update may cause some work computers to lose their automatic secure connection to company systems. In reported cases, the connection works again after the update is removed, suggesting the update is causing the problem.
Who is at risk
People using Windows 11 work devices that automatically connect to their employer’s network from home or while traveling are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for sudden trouble connecting to work apps, shared files, internal websites, or other company resources after a recent Windows update.
What to do
If this starts happening, contact your company’s IT or help desk right away and avoid removing updates yourself unless they specifically instruct you to do so.
