This might happen when connected or disconnected to a VPN or after changing state between the two,” the company says. In addition, Microsoft explains that “devices with this issue, might also have issues reaching the internet using applications that use WinHTTP or WinInet.” According to the company (via ZDNet) says that restarting the computer might resolve the issue, and a permanent fix is expected to be available in the coming weeks as an optional update through the Microsoft Update Catalog.
