New Windows 11 update and a new round of problems, this time affecting VPN use. According to reports, users who installed the latest security update for Windows 10, Windows 11, and various versions of Windows Server VPN services have lost their functionality in the operating system.
Microsoft has already discovered this issue and describes it as “Windows devices may experience VPN connection failures“Now the company itself does not specify whether this is an isolated problem or whether it affects 100% of users who have updated their operating system. The company has also not provided any solution or delivery timeline for a patch that will fix this issue. There is no explanation why this happened.
Therefore, any Windows operating system user who has installed the latest security update “KB5036893” may be affected if you have lost functionality of VPN services.
Windows devices may experience VPN connection failures after installing the April 2024 Security Update (KB5036893) or the April 2024 Non-Security Update.
Although Microsoft does not provide any official solution, it seems that the immediate solution would be to roll back to a previous version of Windows. Or of course something simpler, go to the update history and uninstall the update “KB5036893”.. In exchange, you will lose any patches and security improvements implemented on the system. So this is the user himself who must weigh lose these features in exchange for the ability to continue using the VPN.

When you connect to a VPN, on a Windows PC or smartphone, your device creates encrypted connection to a remote server managed by the VPN provider. All your internet traffic, such as web browsing, email, or video streaming, goes through this secure tunnel.
