Update fixes network problems under Windows 10 and Windows 11
Last week, Microsoft rolled out its traditional October Patch Tuesday. Unfortunately, not entirely without problems. Now Microsoft confirms that the October Patch Tuesday causes problems with the network connection.
Some users have been reporting network problems under Windows 10 and Windows 11 since October's Patch Tuesday, which Microsoft released last week. For example, it can happen that all network adapters only resume their connection to the outside world after a reboot of the PC. In one Status Dashboard Microsoft now confirms the network problem. The Redmond company explains that the October Patch Tuesday caused problems in the handshake with the transport layer security protocol (TLS/SSL), which caused connections between clients and servers to be interrupted temporarily.
In order to fix the problem, Microsoft is now providing two unscheduled Windows updates. These are the two patch files KB5020387 and KB5020435 for Windows 11 and Windows 10. The update can be applied manually or via the update search in the Windows operating system.
