BTW:
Original implementation of DirectAccess (Always-On, transparent VPN) in Windows Vista required working IPv6 connection, this was extended with HTTPS-over-v4 backup tunnel support later on when MS found out how hard it was to get consumer v6 in 2007. Inside of DirectAccess, connectivity is pure v6 still.
In fact, since NT6, Windows is IPv6-first system in many aspects, and Microsoft made news last year when they complained that they couldn't disable v4 on guest wifi at many offices due to non-Microsoft visiting workers having issues connecting to their VPNs due to software that didn't work with NAT64/DNS64.
