Microsoft finally fixes VPN issues caused by September updates
Microsoft has fixed a problem that caused some Windows 11 devices to lose access to secure remote work connections after September 2026 updates. People and organizations affected by those connection failures should install the latest Microsoft fix to restore normal access.
Who is at risk
Windows 11 users who rely on built-in remote work or school connections, especially people connecting to office systems from home, are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for remote work connections that suddenly fail, disconnect repeatedly, or stop working after a recent Windows update.
What to do
Check Windows Update and install the latest available fixes from Microsoft, then restart your device and test your remote connection again.
