Hi,   I have spoken to Microsoft and taken logs off an affected laptop.  It turns out this is the problematic URL - autologon.microsoftazuread-sso.com If i whitelist this URL then pre-tunnel is unaffected but if i dont a lot of users are getting an issue where their taskbar hangs and they cant login to global protect until they disconnect their wifi and turn it back on.  It must be because the laptops are trying to login to Azure even though our laptops are not Azure joined - they are only Azure registered.   has anyone else seen this before and does anyone know why this would affect the pre-tunnel if not whitelisted   thanks Kevin ...

Hi,  Yes i have a test laptop which is windows 10 version 21-H2.  All other software is removed and the issue still exists.  When i boot up and pre-tunnel starts the taskbar hangs and that new widget in windows (the one with msn, location, weather and some news feeds, etc) - it fails to load and therefore the user cant connect as the pre-tunnel fails.   Laptops with version 1809 and 1909 do not have the issue because they do not have this windows feature   I am curious why this widget is impacting pre-tunnel because pre-tunnel is supposed to talk to our firewall active directory sites only.   any advice is welcome   regards, Kevin     ...

That is true and this has been working ok for two years but now random users are having a logon issue.  Is as if their laptop is trying to talk to the internet when the pre-tunnel is loading.  I think i have tracked it down to the following sites and i now have a rule at the top of the policy for pre-logon to hit these websites.  Then it disconnects and reconnects the user from Prisma to our domain.  It seems to work ok for now but why does the windows 10 laptop need access to these websites.  Does that not defeat the purpose of pre-tunnel which should only talk to our domain controllers before disconnecting and then reconnecting to log the user in   autologon.microsoftazuread-sso.com/domain.com/ *.microsoft.com/ www.bing.com/ login.live.com/ *.data.microsoft.com/ *.msn.com ...

Its happening for alot of Prisma users on different clients from 5.2.4 up to 5.2.10 so i know its not the client software Not all users are affected but the ones that are affected can get around the issue by disabling their wifi to disrupt the Pre-logon tunnel and then turn their wifi back on and it reconnects to the domain via Prisma.  Its very frustrating and i would just like to know why this is happening.  Is it something that has been pushed out on windows 10 or is it a problem with Pre-logon   any advice is welcome  ...

Hello,  I opened a TAC case with Palo but am not getting any results.  They say b ased on your findings, the PanGPS/PanPGS process are not the cause of the crash rather they are the victims of the crash. They have asked me to perform Windows level investigations first as this issue behaviour include Windows taskbar freeze, WiFi modifications but this does not help me resolve why the Prisma clients cannot connect remotely.  If i turn off Global Protect on the users laptop they can connect no problem to the Corporate Network.  Its only over Prisma the user has a problem connecting   any advice is welcome ...
