Has anyone seen any updates from Microsoft about the persistent issue of Windows 11 upgrades erasing the dot3svc folder? This problem not only happened when upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 but is also cropping up during yearly updates (like 23H2 to 25H2). After the upgrade, the computer loses network access until a gpupdate is executed while connected. Any advice or experiences would be appreciated!

We've experienced this problem as well. Just curious, does anyone know if this issue also happens with upgrades using enablement updates, or is it just the full feature updates?
We've had similar problems during our upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 because of MSCHAPv2 being used for authentication, which didn't work well with credential guard. We had to turn off credential guard to resolve it. You might want to consider checking the authentication method you're using.
Absolutely, I noticed the same thing when doing an in-place upgrade from 23H2 to 24H2. After running gpupdate, everything came back to normal!
Yes, I've faced this issue too. It was essential for me to update the LAN profile as soon as the new OS was installed. I also adjusted the `SetupCompleteTemplate.cmd` file, using a guide that really helped. You might find this post useful for resolving your issue!
It should only affect full feature updates, not those done through enablement packs.
