Windows 11 update causes troubles to VPN users

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/technology/windows-11-update-causes-troubles-to-vpn-users/ar-AA1bj9IJ

Quote
Some Windows VPN users are lamenting drop in performances after installing a recent Windows 11update.

Released on May 9 and officially known as KB5026372, the update was supposed to bring some improvements to last year's OS version 22H2. However, customers are experiencing a drastic drop in VPN speeds after installation, especially over L2TP/IPsec connections.

Besides issues with VPN services, the update seems to be causing additional problems to users, and Microsoft is now looking at the matter more closely.     

Windows 11 KB5026372's issues

"Microsoft is aware of the issue and is looking into it," a Microsoft spokesperson told BleepingComputer on May 15.

Many people who have already downloaded and installed the update reported slower speeds in both download and upload activity.

A users on Reddit (see conversation below) described the Microsoft L2TP/IPsec connection of crawling "to a snail's pace" and becoming  "unusable."

This type of VPN connection is especially employed by businesses to enable the service for their clients, making the issues perhaps even more relevant for customers.

Another dissatisfied user reported something similar, writing: "No problems connecting to the VPN, just once you get in the speeds are extremely slow and RDP basically just times out."

As BleepingComputer pointed out, VPN speed drops seem to occur only under Wi-Fi connections.

Windows 11 KB5026372's issues aren't ending with VPNs poor performances, though. As Windows Latest reported, users have also been experiencing further issues.

These include their devices automatically shutting down instead of restarting after installing the updates, BitLocker automatic activation which could potentially lead to a total system reset, as well as the coming back of a previously fixed security bug on the Windows Security app.

However, the problems around VPN connection are more widespread across users. 

At the time of writing, the only fix appears to be uninstalling the problematic update.


Step-by-step guide to uninstall KB5026372 update:

  • Select Start, head on Settings and click on Windows Update;
  • Tap on Update history and then press Uninstall updates;
  • Look for the KB5026372 update and click Uninstall;
  • At this point, your device will revert to the previous Windows 11 version.

It is worth noting that the Windows 11 May update has also brought some improvements on the security front. So, eliminating the update means that fixed patched security bugs will be reinstated.

Wow thanks for this Dave! This is good info that I need for my mom's new computer we still haven't set up completely with her old files transferred over. It still has the login as the MS account which she does NOT want.

Don’t trust news on msn, they just want ur clicks and lie then delete the article. It’s an ad viewing scam, because some boomers let that page open in the background after viewing the news

If you're planning to create a local user account on Win 11, do it fast.  Because MS will patch that real soon.

Oh of COURSE they will! It is a given and just a matter of time. I already had my personal account set but my mom's newest computer does not so I will have to do that but with my surgery fast approaching I won't have a chance until afterwards.

Wait.  You already have your personal windows 11 local account setup?  But the forums say that your still using windows 10.   I am confused.

No no I am sticking with 10. I was talking about my mom's computer. But it still has 10 as well. I keep forgetting this is with 11. So no worries :P

 It is kinda still a worry considering support stops for W10 next Sept(2025). But who knows what other changes they might make by then.

You know that if you have bit locker enabled on win10 and then try to disable it, it gives you a warning that data loss may happen.
