Answer 2

Yes. Recent Windows 11 updates have documented networking issues in specific scenarios.

1. Wi‑Fi connectivity issues (Windows 11 22H2 / 23H2)

• Updates KB5032288 (Dec 4, 2023 Preview) and KB5033375 (Dec 12, 2023) can cause some Wi‑Fi adapters to fail to connect to certain networks.
• This is more likely on enterprise, education, or public Wi‑Fi using 802.1x authentication and is not likely on home networks.
• Microsoft confirms these updates as the cause.
• The issue is fixed in KB5034123. If that update cannot be installed, Microsoft uses Known Issue Rollback (KIR). For enterprise‑managed devices, a special Group Policy (KIR policy MSI) can be deployed and configured, followed by a restart.

2. DirectAccess connectivity issues (mainly enterprise)

• Windows 11 version 24H2: After a fresh install or in‑place upgrade, DirectAccess connections can get stuck in “connecting” and show Last Error Code : 0x57 and failed to connect to the IPHTTPS server in netsh interface httpstunnel show interface. This is addressed in KB5044384.
• Earlier Windows versions (including Windows 11 and Windows 10) had issues where, after certain updates, devices could not reconnect to DirectAccess after losing network connectivity or moving between Wi‑Fi networks. These were later fixed in subsequent cumulative updates (for example, KB5021234 / KB5021233), or mitigated via Known Issue Rollback Group Policies.

If affected home users are seeing Wi‑Fi problems after a recent update, the most directly relevant known issue is the Wi‑Fi adapter problem introduced by KB5032288 / KB5033375 and resolved by installing KB5034123 or waiting for/forcing the KIR to apply.
