Windows Defender Credential Guard has certain application requirements. Windows Defender Credential Guard blocks specific authentication capabilities. So applications that require such capabilities won't function when it's enabled. For more information, see [Application requirements](credential-guard-requirements.md#application-requirements).
-The following known issues have been fixed in the [Cumulative Security Update for November 2017](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/november-27-2017-kb4051033-os-build-14393-1914-447b6b88-e75d-0a24-9ab9-5dcda687aaf4):
+## Known Issue: Single Sign-On (SSO) for Network services breaks after upgrading to **Windows 11, version 22H2**
-- Scheduled tasks with domain user-stored credentials fail to run when Credential Guard is enabled. The task fails and reports Event ID 104 with the following message:
+### Symptoms of the issue:
+Devices that use 802.1x wireless or wired network, RDP, or VPN connections that rely on insecure protocols with password-based authentication will be unable to use SSO to log in and will be forced to manually re-authenticate in every new Windows session when Windows Defender Credential Guard is running.
- ```console
- Task Scheduler failed to log on '\Test'.
- Failure occurred in 'LogonUserExEx'.
- User Action: Ensure the credentials for the task are correctly specified.
- Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943726. 2147943726: ERROR\_LOGON\_FAILURE (The user name or password is incorrect).
- ```
+### Affected devices:
+Any device that enables Windows Defender Credential Guard may encounter this issue. As part of the Windows 11, version 22H2 update, eligible devices which had not previously explicitly disabled Windows Defender Credential Guard had it enabled by default. This affected all devices on Enterprise (E3 and E5) and Education licenses, as well as some Pro licenses*, as long as they met the [minimum hardware requirements](credential-guard-requirements.md#hardware-and-software-requirements).

+### Why this is happening:
+Applications and services are affected by this issue when they rely on insecure protocols that use password-based authentication. Windows Defender Credential Guard blocks the use of these insecure protocols by design. These protocols are considered insecure because they can lead to password disclosure on the client and the server, which is in direct contradiction to the goals of Windows Defender Credential Guard. Affected procols include:
+ - Kerberos unconstrained delegation (both SSO and supplied credentials are blocked)
+ - Kerberos when PKINIT uses RSA encryption instead of Diffie-Hellman (both SSO and supplied credentials are blocked)
+ - MS-CHAP (only SSO is blocked)
+ - WDigest (only SSO is blocked)
+ - NTLM v1 (only SSO is blocked)
+
+Since only SSO is blocked for MS-CHAP, WDigest, and NTLM v1, these protocols can still be used by prompting the user to supply credentials.
- - This event stems from a scheduled task running under local user context with the [Cumulative Security Update for November 2017](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/november-27-2017-kb4051033-os-build-14393-1914-447b6b88-e75d-0a24-9ab9-5dcda687aaf4) or later and happens when Credential Guard is enabled.
- - The username appears in an unusual format because local accounts aren't protected by Credential Guard. The task also fails to execute.
- - As a workaround, run the scheduled task under a domain user or the computer's SYSTEM account.
+> [!NOTE]
+> MS-CHAP and NTLMv1 are particularly relevant to the observed SSO breakage after the Windows 11, version 22H2 update. To confirm whether Windows Defender Credential Guard is blocking either of these protocols, check the NTLM event logs in Event Viewer at `Application and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\NTLM\Operational` for the following warning and/or error:

+### Options to fix the issue:
-- [KB4015217 Windows Defender Credential Guard generates double bad password count on Active Directory domain-joined Windows machines](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/april-11-2017-kb4015217-os-build-14393-1066-and-14393-1083-b5f79067-98bd-b4ec-8b81-5d858d7dc722)
+Microsoft recommends that organizations move away from MSCHAPv2-based connections such as PEAP-MSCHAPv2 and EAP-MSCHAPv2, to certificate-based authentication such as PEAP-TLS or EAP-TLS. Windows Defender Credential Guard will not block certificate-based authentication.
- This issue can potentially lead to unexpected account lockouts. For more information, see the following support articles:
+For a more immediate but less secure fix, [disable Windows Defender Credential Guard](credential-guard-manage.md#disable-windows-defender-credential-guard). Note that Windows Defender Credential Guard does not have per-protocol or per-application policies, and must either be completely on or off. Disabling Windows Defender Credential Guard will leave some stored domain credentials vulnerable to theft. Windows Defender Credential Guard can be disabled after it has already been enabled, or it can be explicitly disabled prior to updating to Windows 11, version 22H2, which will prevent default enablement from occurring.

+> [!TIP]
+> To _prevent_ default enablement, [use Group Policy to explicitly disable Windows Defender Credential Guard](credential-guard-manage.md#disabling-windows-defender-credential-guard-using-group-policy) before updating to Windows 11, version 22H2. If the GPO value is not configured (which is the default state), the device will receive default enablement after updating, if eligible. If the GPO value is set to "disabled", it will not be enabled after updating. This process can also be done via Mobile Device Management (MDM) policy rather than Group Policy if the devices are currently being managed by MDM.
