Windows 10: Microsoft blocks update for some PCs over LTE modem connectivity bug

▤ Summary

The issue affects some wireless wide area network (WWAN) LTE modems after installing the Windows 10 version 2004 update. "After waking from sleep or hibernation, certain WWAN LTE modems might show no internet in the Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI) in the notification area and might be unable to connect to the internet," Microsoft said on its update health dashboard for version 2004. In July, Microsoft released a preview build of Windows 10 2004 (KB4568831, OS Build 19041.423) that was supposed to address "an issue that might prevent a Windows 10 device from reaching the internet when using a wireless wide area network (WWAN) LTE modem." It was also meant to have addressed "an issue that might prevent internet connectivity on some cellular modems after upgrading to Windows 10, version 2004." For Windows 10 users already on version 2004, Microsofts recommended workaround is to enable and then disable Airplane mode on the device.
