January 2022 Quality Update Breaks VPN Connections

As a workaround you may use "Win32 app management" in Microsoft Intune and download the package from the Microsoft Update Catalogue and then deploy it using the Microsoft Intune, take a look at:

I know it is a bit challenging but it is possible to deploy updates in the Microsoft Intune too.

Have just discovered this. Please let us know when we can expect a fix.

Morning,
Currently the work around is to uninstall the windows update (KB5009543), once uninstalled you will then need to restart your PC. After you have done this you will then be able to connect to the VPN.
Once you have tested the VPN connection and it was successful I would suggest to run "wushowhide" and hide the update so it doesn't reinstall until a fix has been released, however you don't need to do this bit for the VPN to work.
This is just a work around until a fix has been released for this issue.
Regards

Attempts to uninstall using elevated command prompt and attempts to restore to a restore point both fail on my win10 desktop that I need to access my employer's network over l2tp (ipsec) using windows client. Is there another work around. I need this to continue in my job.
