Security News > 2024 > May > Microsoft fixes VPN failures caused by April Windows updates
"Windows devices might face VPN connection failures after installing the April 2024 security update or the April 2024 non-security preview update," Redmond explains on the Windows health dashboard.
The list of impacted Windows versions includes Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2008 and later.
Since Redmond includes all security fixes in a single update, uninstalling the April updates will also remove all fixes for patched security flaws, even though it resolves the Windows VPN issues.
One year ago, Microsoft acknowledged major L2TP/IPsec VPN speed issues over Wi-Fi connections after installing the April 2023 non-security updates on Windows 11 systems.
In January 2022, it released emergency updates to address L2TP VPN issues when connecting via the Windows VPN client after installing the January 2022 Patch Tuesday updates.
Microsoft says April Windows updates break VPN connections.
