Wi-Fi hotspot breaks, Hyper-V won't launch

What broke

June 2022’s update went after multiple targets at once. Wi-Fi hotspot stopped working — connecting a client device would kill the host’s internet connection entirely. Hyper-V on Windows 11 threw snap-in errors and refused to launch. Azure AD sign-in broke on ARM devices. And on the server side, KB5014692 destroyed RDP, RRAS, and VPN connectivity — servers would work for about five minutes after boot before losing all network connectivity. Remote administrators couldn’t remote in to fix the remote access that was broken. Beautiful.
