- April updates for Windows 11 and 10 causing VPN connection failures.
- Microsoft acknowledges the issue and promises a fix in an upcoming release.
- Users left vulnerable to security threats or facing VPN connection problems.
Windows 11 and Windows 10 users are facing a new problem after installing the latest updates from Microsoft.
These updates, which came out in April, are causing issues for some people who use VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) to protect their online privacy.
The main updates for April are called KB5036893 for Windows 11 and KB5036892 for Windows 10.
They were supposed to bring new features and improvements, but instead, they’re causing trouble for VPN users. Even the preview updates released at the end of April are causing the same problem.
Microsoft has officially acknowledged this issue on its Windows 11 health dashboard.
They’ve said that after installing the April 2024 security update (KB5036893) or the April 2024 non-security preview update, some Windows devices might have trouble connecting to VPNs.
Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn’t given much information about why this is happening.
They’re working on fixing the problem and promise to provide an update in the future. But for now, users affected by this issue are left waiting for a solution.
This problem is troubling for those who rely on VPNs to protect their internet connection. The April update is important because it includes security measures to keep computers safe from cyber threats.
But with the VPN issue, some users are left with a tough choice: install the update and risk VPN problems, or skip the update and leave their computer vulnerable to security risks.
For people dealing with this problem at home, Microsoft suggests using the Get Help app in Windows for support.
However, this might not be enough for users who rely on VPNs for work or other important tasks.
The April update for Windows 11 hasn’t been smooth sailing. Along with the VPN issue, there have been other bugs causing headaches for users.
One of the most notable is a new version of the Blue Screen of Death, which has been jokingly called the White Screen of Doom.
Additionally, the preview update for April has a strange problem with profile photos, and other glitches are popping up as well.
Overall, Microsoft is facing challenges with their updates lately. Users are experiencing problems that make using their computers frustrating and unreliable.
Hopefully, Microsoft can address these issues soon and provide solutions to make Windows 11 better for everyone.
