Microsoft is investigating speed issues with L2TP/IPsec VPN connections after installing the latest Windows 11 update. Some users who installed the May 2023 Tuesday Patch on their computers started to complain about a significant slowdown in VPN speeds.According to Windows users and system administrators, the issue first appeared with the optional KB5025305 update released in April. The number of people affected increased as the company included the same fixes in the mandatory KB5026372 released as part of this month’s Tuesday Patch. It seems that the problem only occurs when using Wi-Fi.
No workaround from Microsoft
A Microsoft spokesperson, who made a statement on the subject, said that the company is aware of the problem and is working on a fix. Unfortunately, the software giant acknowledged the problem but did not provide any workarounds. Until a fix comes from Microsoft, the only solution is to uninstall the problematic update.
However, since the KB5026372 update is in the “cumulative update” class, it also includes many security patches. Therefore, removing it from the system may make your computer vulnerable to attacks. As a result, this is far from being an ideal solution that you can apply with peace of mind.
