Unsolved VPN Connect continually drops

Maybe a reset of the network stack is in order.
I've had to do that on every OS from 9x to Windows 7. I have run into so few businesses with Windows 8(.1) that I haven't had the need, yet. Same goes with Windows 10.
it's only a matter of time though.

Had issues with Windows Updates - this is what I finally got....

What kind of computer is it? Surface Pro?
-
Yes a Surface

So it's fixed? after you applied updates?

Was guessing as much because of the name of the System Firmware Update that's what MS calls driver updates for MS hardware - sigh

Not updated yet. I lost Internet and thus connection to that computer. About to apply it now.

Surface's have had network problems pretty much since the beginning.

Installing the updates now...

Problem identified.
For Sales people - who travel - what would you suggest that is better? They have about 15 Surface units as it is now.
-
To be noted that they have 15 or so and only 1 has this issue. So it is not just a Surface blanket issue.

Don't know what they are using it for. I've never found the Surface to be a good tool, too many bugs and problems both software and hardware. It might seem neat, but it still comes across as a toy to me.

Ugh... there was an update not too long ago that caused the wireless to be completely unreliable. It was fixed the following month with a patch. Looks like this Surface missed that patch.

Possible... even with this update,.. there seems to be Windows Update issues.
This is the error I have seen on this one,.. and I think others..

Are they tied into WSUS somehow?

Reboot it and give it another go.

I have had really good luck with the Fixit Tool for Windows Update.
