Hello. I saw some posts with the same error and I have tried all suggested solutions meaning setting the service from manual to automatic and back.
I ran different commands like SFC/scannow, Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth, Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth, Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.
I allowed Cisco through the firewall or even turned it off completely. I don't have any other anti-virus program installed. I also deactivated the IPv6 protocol
As a last resort I updated windows, I reset it and finally repaired it using the in-upgrade tool for windows 11.
The service still stops itself and never keeps running (no matter if automatic or manual).
These are the current errors I get:

I'm using the Cisco Anyconnect version 4.10.07061.
I'm thankful for any help!

I have the same problem with Windows 11 but with AnyConnect 4.10.07073. The Eventlog is full of errors like the following (or the already mentioned):
Function: MSSaxErrorHandlerImpl::fatalError

Restarting the Service "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Agent" will cause it to immediately fail. I reinstalled everything, I also checked the firewall and also disabled it just for testing. Is there any solution for that? Before I updated I used version 4.7.04056 and that was working like a charm. Any Idea what else I could do?

Unfortunately, I tried all these steps already. Manually or automatically starting the service still causes it to stop immediately. I provided the event logs in my previous question.
Since completetly reinstalling Cisco as well as Windows did not bring any solutions and I can't contact the cisco customer support (since I am not the customer, but my university is) I installed a virtual machine with windows 10 and it works over there. But this is a very slow solution and one I am not content with.
I'd be very grateful if anyone has any other suggestions !
Thank you
