Thank you everyone for reporting this issue! A fix for it is in the works and should be coming soon. In the meantime, resetting the network adaptor by running "restart-netadapter *" OR "Restart-Service NlaSvc -Force" via PowerShell or CMD Prompt is a workaround.

Fix is "in the works"? Wow, just wow! ! I mean, this issue has been reported ever since Server 2022 has been released (Google "AlwaysExpectDomainController" to get a clue, perhaps), lots of people opened a case with MS to no avails as usual. In fact, MS has done nothing but making the problem even worse by making the restart of nlasvc impossible / broken even in 2022 somewhere mid-2023 (the Services console does not work, the PS command you suggest does not work if you bothered to test, the only way to restart the process is to forcefully kill the process). 

In addition, MS has broken the known registry workarounds floating around the internet in Server 2025. 

Now you come with restarting network adapters hack. Sheeesh. Get your act together, seriously.
