VPN connection problem after Windows 11 Pro 24H2 update
Yesterday I installed some updates (24H2) on a Windows 11 Pro OS.
After that the connection to my work VPN stopped connecting correctly.
Did anyone have the same issue?
How can I solve?
Tnx

2025-03-17T11:24:18+00:00 [POTENTIAL LOCAL WORKAROUND (for me)]
I've got similar issue with my company's notebook's VPNs.
All problems which come out of it seem to boil down into lack of proper suffixing of DNS requests with my company domain. FQDN requests always pass, abbreviated ones - sometimes, sometimes not.
In short - I've 'added' company's domain as dns suffix into my local wifi connection IP settings - it solved this issue.So, in "View Network Connections" I have my local Wi-Fi connection, plus few additional connections for windows VPNs. Of course all VPN connection shortcuts in their IPV4 settings have DNS suffixes for my company domain.
I'm assuming that the dns suffix sould get added with a 'connection specific' (VPN) network connection - once such VPN is activated. But obviously this setting (adding 'connection specific dns suffixes') is not respected by Windows 11 24H2. It seems like in this windows 11 configuration ONLY THE primary network connection DNS suffixes are respected.
I've manually added (enforced) my company domain name into my 'private' WiFi connection as additional suffix.I know it would make bogus searches when I'm not connected to my company, but hey... At least it works. I hope it doesn't introduce any security issues. In 99% of cases I'm connected to internet on my company notebook.
Maybe it helps someone out there.
