Please delete the Cisco CDP driver which might present on the machine even after uninstalling the IP communicator software and try again.

>> Execute the following command on the cmd and check for Driver package provider : Cisco and notedown the oemX value 

pnputil /e

>> Delete the driver using this command:  pnputil /delete-driver oemX.inf /force.

>> Reboot and check the behavior.

I tried this and it didn't work for me.  This is the only Cisco one I found.  I still have the same issues.  I connect, disconnect, try to reconnect and it eventually fails after being stuck on securing connection for a long time.

@hernandezr Do you have Cisco IP comminucator software installed on your machine? Can you go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and see if cipcxxx.sys file present?

If yes, then please delete the driver by running pnputil /delete-driver <oem#.inf> /force command.  In your case, it's oem98.inf.

I did have it and uninstalled it.  My post shows I deleted the same .inf you're referencing - didn't fix

I also tried adding a registry dword for MaxNumFilters

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network

and setting the value to 14 - didn't fix

I tried uninstalling Pulse, running these commands and re-installing pulse - didn't fix

takeown /f "C:\Program Files\rempl" /r /d y
icacls "C:\Program Files\rempl" /grant administrators:F /t /q
icacls "C:\Program Files\rempl" /deny system:F /t /q

The weird part about it is that all these issues started cropping up when I introduced DUO 2FA and created a new Sign In Policy and Realm specifically for Duo.

@hernandezr Can you please save the pnputil /enum-drivers output as a text file, capture screenshot of any network adapter >> Properties page which shows the complete list and share the download link with me as PM?
