Security News > 2022 > June > Microsoft: June Windows updates may break Wi-Fi hotspots
Microsoft is investigating a newly acknowledged issue causing connectivity issues when using Wi-Fi hotspots after deploying Windows updates released during the June 2022 Patch Tuesday.
According to a new entry on the Windows release health dashboard, Windows devices where one of the June updates has been installed might be unable to use the Wi-Fi hotspot feature.
"When attempting to use the hotspot feature, the host device might lose the connection to the internet after a client device connects," Microsoft explains.
Microsoft has also shared a workaround for affected customers using their Windows PC as a mobile hotspot until a solution to this issue is available.
"To mitigate the issue and restore internet access on the host device, you can disable the Wi-Fi hotspot feature," Microsoft recommends.
This month's Windows updates may also cause backup issues on systems running multiple Windows Server versions, with some apps failing to backup data using Volume Shadow Copy Service.
