Microsoft's most recent Windows 11 cumulative update, which is available today for seekers, posseses an important fix that resolves the bug causing some devices to be unable to connect to the Internet having a Wi-Fi hotspot.

The organization originally acknowledged the issue earlier this month, explaining that it was caused by another cumulative update, this time around KB5014697.

"After installing KB5014697, Windows devices may be unable to use the Wi-Fi hotspot feature. When attempting to use the hotspot feature, the host device might lose the connection to the internet after a client device connects," Microsoft said at that time.

It's understandable it was a significant glitch, but fortunately, Microsoft also provided a workaround to deal with the event until a complete fix was ready.

Microsoft said the only method to restore the web access to an impacted device ended up being to disable the Wi-Fi hotspot feature. It's understandable this wasn't necessarily probably the most convenient solution, so quite a few users available considered the ultimate workaround, which will come down to taking out the cumulative update resulting in the whole thing altogether.

Full fix now available

The good news is that Microsoft has resolved everything with the release of cumulative update KB5014668. This update is only on Windows 11 and offered as optional, and that means you must manually check out Windows Update and appearance for updates to upload it.

However, updates to solve exactly the same glitch should go live at some point for those Windows versions affected by the bug, including here Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and many Windows Server versions.

Most likely, the fix will become readily available for each one of these versions of Windows included in the next Patch Tuesday happening in July - at that time, all updates is going to be shipped as automatic releases to Windows users.
