The EOL designation for the Cisco VPN Client v5.0.07.0440-the most recent and stable version-means that newer operating systems, like Windows 10, are not officially supported by the client. Dec 18, 2020 Symptom: The Cisco AnyConnect Network Access Manager service is not running after rebooting the PC. Conditions: This issue can occur on machines that have Cisco NAM version 4.9. The problem occurs when an EAP-FAST connection completes authentication succesfully but the overall EAP status is a failure (typically because of authz policy).
Installing the VPN Client
- Download the AnyConnect VPN client for Windows. Note: If you're using Microsoft Edge, the program will download as a 'sys_attachment.do' file. You will need to rename the file to 'sys_attachment.msi'
- If you have the Windows Surface Pro X tablet with an ARM-based processor, you should download the AnyConnect VPN client for ARM64.
- Click Run on the Open File – Security Warning dialog box.
- Click Next in the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Setup dialog box, then follow the steps to complete the installation. NOTE: We recommend you un-check everything (Web Security, Umbrella, etc) except for the VPN and the Diagnostic and Reporting Tool (DART). This will give you a minimal install. The other features are not supported so there's no need to install them.
