Always On VPN Fails with Windows 10 2004 Build 610

Updated 11/10/2020: Microsoft update KB4586781 has resolved the connectivity issues described in this post. If you had previously installed update KB4580364, please update to KB4586781 immediately.

A recent preview update for Windows 10 2004 has broken Always On VPN. Specifically, after installing the latest Preview update for Windows 10 2004 (KB4580364), Always On VPN connections will fail to connect automatically. They can be established manually, however.

Affected Builds

This issue affects Windows 10 2004 with build 19041.610 and 19042.610.

Workaround

The only workaround currently is to remove this update.

Caveat

Although this is a “preview” update and an optional installation, it is important to know that preview updates are released in the next “patch Tuesday” release. Administrators are advised to carefully consider delaying the implementation until additional testing has been completed.
