Workaround: The Microsoft Update Catalog was made available for the Windows September 2022 preview release. Going forward, we advise IT administrators to utilize this release channel.
Attention: The Windows September 2022 Security update may subsequently be auto-declined and auto-expired from the client view in environments where WSUS is configured to auto-approve updates and also auto-decline superseded content. If this occurs, see the guidance for reinstating declined updates. After that, launch an update synchronization within Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager or other update management platforms. Environments that are only set up to accept security updates shouldn’t exhibit these symptoms.
Resolution: WSUS was updated to remove the Windows September 2022 preview release. We advise IT managers to download and install updates in their environments using the Microsoft Update Catalog. As always, we advise installing the most recent Windows security updates (October 2022 security monthly release, KB5018410, or later) on all devices.

Fix VPN not working in Windows 10, 11
Why is Cisco AnyConnect not opening?
Cisco AnyConnect VPN Login Failed is a typical error that can occur for a number of reasons. The most frequent root cause of this issue is the VPN client’s inability to connect to the VPN server. Among the causes of this are incorrect VPN configurations, firewall configurations, or issues with network connectivity.
You can check to see if another program interfered with the service by going to the Windows Administration Tools and making sure that the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Agent is not running.
If another VPN program is already installed and running and the error message persists, it might be necessary to disable or even uninstall it. Check to see if more than one VPN service is installed on your computer; if so, this may be the main cause of Cisco AnyConnect not opening.

EDIT:
I had the same problem. I checked the services. Cisco AnyConnect Service was discovered to be disabled in the msc for some reason. I simply started the service and changed the service type to automatic, which resolved the problem. Hope it helps.
The Cisco AnyConnect service was simply restarted for me, and that solved the issue.
Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections if you’re using Windows.
and enable “Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client” virtual adapter.
I had the same problem, but it was eventually fixed by what follows:
Services.msc.Disable ICS – internet connection sharing service
I got the same message:
My recommendation is to restart after uninstalling Cisco Anyconnect and deleting its folder from Program Data. Install again with the same version.
Without removing previous folder it will not solve the issue. Try it.
After previously turning off the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Agent in services, I experienced this error. msc. Using Cisco AnyConnect from the taskbar doesn’t automatically restart this service for some reason. The issue was resolved by switching it to both “Automatic” and manually starting it by right-clicking the service and choosing “start.”
