Hello @Pasuri

As a quick summary of our discussion and the findings from the FSDIAG, we've successfully identified the issue at hand. Our team is currently working hard, striving to resolve this matter for you. To address the situation in the meantime, our developer suggests disabling IPv6. This will enable you to add Steam.exe under VPN bypass.

Here's a helpful link that guides you through the process of disabling IPv6 on your Windows computer: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/how-to-disable-tcpipv6-ipv6-on-windows-11

Hi,

• Windows 11 22H2 (with latest August updates)
• F-Secure Total 19.1
• Added Steam.exe to VPN Bypass list

Got BSOD KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED netio.sys reported as responsible file as soon as both VPN and Steam were started. When I managed to remove Steam from the Bypass list the BSOD would no longer occur.
