Windows 11 Wi-Fi Issues Affect Students and Enterprise Users: Microsoft Asks for Feedback
Microsoft has recently released a Windows 11 update, KB5033375, which has caused issues with Wi-Fi connectivity on some public, educational, and enterprise networks. The issue appears to affect enterprise wireless networks with fast-transition/fast-roaming enabled, such as those used on campuses to help with seamless movement between access points. Some universities have recommended their students uninstall the update until an official fix is provided. The problem does not seem to currently affect home wireless networks and regular internet usage. Microsoft has released a response to the issue, confirming that it has received reports of the issue and providing instructions on how to uninstall the update using the Known Issue Rollback service. The issue is resolved using Known Issue Rollback (KIR), and it might take up to 24 hours for the resolution to propagate automatically to consumer devices and non-managed business devices.
