Can't connect to WiFi after Windows 10 May 2020 update (v.2004) - WPA-invalid-2/4-key-msg

After our laptops update to Windows 10 v2004, they will no longer connect to our WPA2-Enterprise FortiAP WiFi network. We have troubleshooted and checked our RADIUS/NPS settings, and they are correct. The users get authenticated, but the connection fails with this message in the FortiGate Logs:

 

WPA-invalid-2/4-key-msg

Probably wrong password entered, invalid MIC in 2/4 message of 4-way handshake from client 

 

The laptop's event logs report "Dynamic Key exchange did not succeed withing configured time"

 

Other laptops still on Windows 10 1909 can connect just fine. And if we roll back the Windows 10 update to 1909, it will connect again. If we take the laptop to our other office with Aruba AP's they connect just fine. So it's something to do with the Windows 10 2004 update and the FortiAP 221E Access Points. We just can't figure out how to fix it.

 

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I believe we have figured out the solution. After running a network monitor capture, I noticed the KeyData in Message 1 of the 4-way handshake was PMKID KDE. After researching PMKID, I found this article on Protected Management Frames: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiap/6.2.0/fortiwifi-and-fortiap-configuration-guide/980459/pr.... I set PMF to "Optional" on the VAP and the laptops that have been updated to Windows 10 v2004 are now connecting to our RADIUS authenticated WiFi network.

Just a quick question - have you deleted the WPA2-Enterprise FortiAP WiFi from a laptop then recreate/set it up again?

Looks like wifi issue after updating windows 10 is quite common. I found multiple troubleshooting articles on the internet like below. I suspect driver compatibility issue is the likely cause since it doesn't happen when you roll back.

Was PMF enabled before, or disabled?

Looking at our backups, PMF was previously set to "enabled" when we were having the connection issues. Once I set it to "optional" the updated laptops were then able to connect.

I was guessing opposite based on some discussions like below. I need to research more about Win10 2004's 802.11w implementation.

Spent hours trying to figure this out before finding this post. Set PMF to optional fixed it. Thank you for sharing this solution!
