    Hi @John Reymond G. Heredero ,

    Have you checked that your computer's antivirus software is not preventing access to the vpn software?

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to Faulting application name: netsh.exe error.

    1. Disable any Antivirus program or Windows firewall you may have for temporary purpose.
    2. Cleanup below Temp folders location -> Open Start -> Run -> Type below location one-by-one and press enter
      C:\Windows\Temp
      %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
    3. Run Disk Cleanup from Select C:\ Drive from Properties- > General -> Disk Cleanup - >Cleanup system files
    4. Run sfc /scannow from elevated prompt.
    5. Run below DISM commands from elevated prompt.

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    I get the exact same thing, on a fresh Azure VM using Windows 11 22H2 Enterprise Marketplace image.

    any invocation of 'netsh' gets this same error event. same Exception Code, same Fault offset.

    same build using 21H2, works fine.

    Recently discovered my netsh.exe wasn't working with the same errors.

    A "Network Reset" wouldn't do anything (no acknowledgement, no reboot).

    A failed system restore after a suspicious update and then a windows reinstall later, the problem was still present.

    Removal of RSAT using dism commands brought me back out of the woods:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/netsh-failing-in-windows-11-version-10022621674/c421d0ea-4746-45f4-a1d2-69f51bc7e164

    Something like this: dism /online /Remove-Package /PackageName:RemoteServerAdministrationTools

    But get the proper, full, package name using: dism /online /get-packages | find /i "Remote"

    Then reboot.

    Time to reinstall my AV software...

    Now we need something like XP Mode for RSAT tools!
