1. Connect to any Adguard VPN service
2. Go to Windows settings and get to system updates
3. Check updates, but Windows will show that there is no updates

Windows will show update or updates and will download them.

In Russia we have blocked system updates from Microsoft via beta or any other channels with russian IP's.

Internet from all other app is available via Adguard VPN.

@shamarin, hi!

Could you clarify a few things for me, please? You mentioned:

Previosly it was ok just before installing Kaspersky Secure protection VPN service

Do I understand correctly that the problem appears only after installing the Kaspersky VPN? Does the problem persist if you disable Kaspersky VPN? What about if you uninstall it?

You mentioned this issue in #661. Is OpenVPN enabled during the problem as well? Is the problem reproduced if you disable both Kaspersky and OpenVPN VPNs?

I noticed you have Kaspersky antivirus in exclusions, but you have excluded the UI process (avpui.exe), not the main one (avp.exe).

Could you please:

1. Install the latest nightly version from this link.
2. Manually add the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky 21.17\avp.exe to exclusions (Exclusions -> Apps -> Add application -> Browse).
3. Enable verbose logs.
4. Reproduce the issue.

If the issue persists, please send us the new logs along with the current issue number. You can find the logs instructions here.

Hi @shamarin, Did the build help?

[shamarin]

Hi @shamarin, Did the build help?

Hi! Couldn't test it because now there is no new build on beta channel on Windows 11. So waiting, i think that this week one will be available and i will test this build.

[shamarin]

@vankos build 2.3.0 nightly 30 1413 contains this issue fixing as in the build that you gave me in the link?

[vankos]

No, it's not. It's an experimental build that has changes not found in any of the official builds yet.

[shamarin]

No, it's not. It's an experimental build that has changes not found in any of the official builds yet.

Ok. Will check it today, because new beta build is available.

Hi @shamarin, Did the build help?

Hi, @vankos ! Checked today, it works now with this build that you gave me.

[shamarin]

Fix of this issue will be included only in 2.4 version?

[vankos]

Great news! Thanks for the help! Yes, it will be in 2.4, and before that, in one of the nightly builds, probably the next one or the one after that.

Great! Thank you! Saw that 2.4 will be 64 bit also? That nightly will have 64 bit version also?
