Microsoft recognizes bugs in Windows 10 and 11

Gradually, Microsoft is recognizing the errors of its operating systems, and now the company recognizes another bug in Windows 10 and 11. After several bugs in the authentication platform, users may have problems using the Direct Access feature after losing network connection temporarily, or simply when switching to another Wi-Fi network or access point.

Direct Access is a feature that allows Windows users to access corporate networks without a traditional VPN connection, providing organizations with a constant connection wherever the Internet is up and running.

Microsoft makes it clear that the bug with Direct Access does not affect the ability to utilize other remote access solutions such as VPN or Always On VPN (Microsoft recommends using the latter on systems running Windows 10 and newer).

The company has applied KIR (Known Issue Rollback) tool to mitigate the issue with Direct Access feature in Windows 10 and 11. As usual, KIR requires around 24 hours to reach the affected devices on unmanaged devices. Computers that are managed by companies can get the fix faster using special group policies, where you can get the official Windows documentation here.
The software giant says the Direct Access bug affects client versions Windows 10 and 11 (LTSC 2019, 20H2 and newer), Windows Server 2019 and 2022. Regular home users with active VPN connections and other applications for remote access are not affected.
