Microsoft says a Windows 11 VPN fix was marked done by mistake
Microsoft says a problem affecting some Windows 11 devices using Always On VPN was incorrectly marked as fixed in October 2026 updates. People and organizations relying on this built-in secure connection tool may still have trouble connecting to work or school networks.
Who is at risk
People using Windows 11 devices that depend on Always On VPN to automatically connect to workplace or school systems are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for work or school apps, files, or internal websites failing to connect, especially after installing recent Windows updates.
What to do
If you rely on this connection for work or school, contact your IT support team before making more update changes and ask whether a workaround or safe update plan is available.
