WINDOWS 11 Remote Password Change Breaks VPN Certificate

We instruct our Remote users to do a CTL-ALT-DEL / Change Password before their password expires... 99% of my group is on WIN10 and the process works fine minus a few hiccups. The same process in WIN11 seems to work but the next day they try to login, VPN fails - can't connect to site. We did lots of troubleshooting but in the end, users had to come onsite log into the local network. I deleted the old VPN cert then upload a new copy from AD using "Manage User Certificates". all was fine after that... Again, only an issue on WIN11 Early adopters.

    I tested already the July update from Tuesday and it did not solved the problem! I contacted again Microsoft to verify and asked them which patch is fixing this problem. As soon as I know I will write here.

    Hi @MXM

    Thank you for your question and reaching out.

    I can understand you are facing issue with connecting to VPN in Windows 11.

    I will suggest you should check first KB5009566 if this KB is installed or not on Windows 11 and remove it as there are some know issue with KB related to VPN connections.

    Reference : https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/report-an-issue/windows-11-update-kb5009566-inhibits-vpn-connection/m-p/3057844

    Hope this answers your question :)

    I installed the latest patch from the Microsoft Update Catalog:
    https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=windows+11+cumulative+update

    And my first test showed after installing update, restart - password change - several restart > it worked!

    This is the patch which I installed:
    2022-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5017328) Windows 11 Security Updates 9/13/2022 n/a 301.4 MB

    I did this test only on one machine so far - so more test will see if it is really fixed. But you can test it too to verify.
