With today's update the vpn issue seems to be resolved.

Update. I tried installing another vpn (free) which acted the same way as Surfshark. When the the VPN is running Windows shows no internet connection. Some apps work, others don't. I also have the same issue on my laptop.

From what I've read Bitlocker is only available for Pro or Enterprise versions, not for Home version of Windows.

Thank you. Looks a bit complicated to me and as I said everything seems to be working properly. The fact that I get the same errors on another computer makes me think it's a Microsoft issue.

I found this to completely remove because even if you don't show them they still run in the background. How to uninstall Widgets in Windows 11 - gHacks Tech News I like having weather on the task bar though so I installed Tray Weather from GitHub, just shows temperature and conditions neatly in...

I checked everything under 311 that had PeerDllPath and they all had a valid Dll files in System32 directory. Not everything has a PeerDllPath entry. I'm puzzled though that my laptop and desktop computers have the same registry entries and both get the same errors when booting up. However...

The VPN is working fine.
