New Windows 10 bug hits home working: Outlook, O365, Teams cant access internet
Summary
The Windows 10 connectivity bug couldnt come at a worse time and is probably causing real pain for the millions of employees worldwide working remotely amid the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. Many of these workers are running a Windows 10 PC and accessing work resources remotely via a virtual private network (VPN) connection. "Devices using a manual or auto-configured proxy, especially with a virtual private network (VPN), might show limited or no internet connection status in the Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI) in the notification area. " Microsoft says Windows 10 users "might be able to mitigate the issue by restarting your device", but thats still going to be a drain on productivity and source of frustration. Suggesting Microsoft considers the bug a severe issue, the company is planning to release an out-of-band fix in "early April".
