The 72-hour lockout after starting and disconnecting from a Microsoft Applied Skills assessment lab cannot be bypassed.
For issues like a lab disconnect or needing earlier access, the only supported path is to contact Microsoft Certification/Applied Skills support and have them review the attempt and advise next steps.
Steps:
- Go to Microsoft Certification Support:
https://aka.ms/CertificationSupport. - Scroll to the Applied Skills section.
- Submit a support request describing that the lab disconnected and that the assessment is now locked for 72 hours.
Also ensure that VPN is not used when attempting an Applied Skills assessment, as VPN usage can interfere with the lab connection.
