Microsoft has released out-of-band updates that resolve the Windows connectivity issue which the company had encountered last week. The issue, as you may remember, was preventing cloud apps like Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Outlook from their normal work, and also was affecting VPN connections.
The released updates are not available via the Windows Update as of this writing. The user has to download them manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Microsoft noted:
Out-of-band optional update is available for internet connectivity issues on devices with manual or auto-configured proxies including VPNs
An out-of-band optional update is now available on the Microsoft Update Catalog to address a known issue whereby devices using a proxy, especially those using a virtual private network (VPN), might show limited or no internet connection status.We recommend you only install this optional update if you are affected by this issue. For more information, see the known issues section for your version of Windows 10 or see the links below.
