Microsoft admits October patch didn't fix Always On VPN bug
Microsoft says it incorrectly marked an Always On VPN connection bug as resolved in its October 2026 Windows 11 cumulative update. The company has reverted the issue's status from 'Resolved' to 'Mitigated' and says a real fix will arrive in a future update. In the meantime, it recommends IT admins work around the problem by manually selecting a single VPN tunneling protocol instead of automatic protocol selection.
