Windows 10 version 1703 update ask to remove CheckPoint SecuRemote / VPN


I can't work without CheckPoint VPN and Windows 10 version 1703 update prompt me to remove CheckPoint VPN:


enter image description here


I have old E80.51 version of CheckPoint.


For latest E80.64, E80.65 versions Check Point Endpoint Security Client support for Microsoft Windows 10 Updates page says:



1703 Creators Update Redstone 2 Planned for Q2 2017



Is it right that I should postpone 1703 Creators Update until CheckPoint provide solution?


Are there any other alternatives (I use password based authentication)?


UPDATE


Update 1604 for Configuration Manager Technical Preview – Available Now! says:



VPN for Windows 10 – You can now deploy VPN profiles with 3rd-party providers to Windows 10 devices managed with ConfigMgr client. These providers include Pulse Secure, F5 Edge, Dell SonicWall, and Checkpoint.



What does that mean?


UPDATE 2 I tried Check Point Capsule VPN available for Windows 10 but not succeed to connect.


Latest available E80.65 version also is banned by Microsoft Update. I postpone update until solution become available.

Answer



Checkpoint engineer answered to wait for new Checkpoint build:


Upgrade to Windows 10 Creators Update, Check Point Mobile not compatible


that should be released soon.


40 days left from that statement... here it is E80.70 Remote Access Clients for Windows


For those who still want to defer update the best solution is to stop Update Service:


cmd> sc stop wuauserv
cmd> sc config wuauserv start= disabled
