Answer 1

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

According to your description, VPN is enabled in your Windows, which can be divided into the following two cases.

If you are using a three-party app VPN, you can close it by right-clicking the VPN app icon on the taskbar in the lower right corner of the desktop.

If your computer is configured with VPN parameters, you can follow these steps to remove or disable the VPN to restore.

To disconnect or remove a VPN on your Windows 11 PC, navigate to Settings, click the Network and Internet option, select the VPN tab, choose a VPN connection that you want to disconnect or delete, and click Disconnect or Delete.

Then check again.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.

There is no "Disconnect or Delete" button for Microsoft VPN. Wish I had never said yes to install it. Now I can't update my Adobe apps.

Hi, I purchased a new desktop pc and while I was serving the web I was prompted to connect to a built in VPN for better security. Upon allowing the VPN to take effect I realised that some of the websites that I visit requested me to disable the VPN connection.

Initially, I tried to disble but failed to do so. Then I decided to unistall the the application through add remove programme. After completing this action I was still prompted with the same message to disable the VPN connection.

Now, I need your professional help on this problem, kindly help me to solve this problem,

Thank you and regards,

Windows 11 has its own built-in VPN.
