Microsoft is currently investigating a bug in its most recent batch of Windows 10 and Windows 11 updates that is preventing some VPN software from working properly. The company updated its list of known Windows issues to say that it has recreated the issue on its end and that it's currently working on a fix.

Microsoft has been no stranger to awkward update bugs over the years, and the latest to hit Windows 10 and 11 users is no different. “VPN connections might fail after installing the April 2024 security update,” the company has warned.

VPNs (Virtual Private Network) often provide users with a fireproof way to maintain privacy and security while scouring the internet, especially if connected to public Wi-Fi. But as it turns out, installing the latest Windows 11 or Windows 10 update on your device might prevent you from using a VPN.
