Microsoft says it mistakenly flagged a bug causing Always On VPN connection issues as fixed in the October 2026 Windows 11 cumulative updates. [...]
Editorial Analysis

Implement compensating controls such as conditional-access policies or secondary VPN solutions for affected Windows 11 endpoints until Microsoft delivers a confirmed fix.
