A bug in the Windows 11 23H2 to 25H2 upgrade is causing issues with internet connectivity by wiping critical 802.1X wired authentication configurations. This problem has left enterprise workstations offline until manual intervention is performed, affecting system administrators and users who rely on these upgrades. The issue was previously observed during Windows 10 to 11 migrations and has resurfaced in the latest annual upgrades.
