Windows 10 - TAP-Windows not detected

mikesee

Hi all

Am testing Windows 10, running the latest build (10049).

I've installed the latest OpenVPN client (openvpn-install-2.3.6-I603-x86_64).
Running TAP-Windows 9.21.1 (driver dated 5 November 2014).

The Tap Windows Adapter v9 has been created under Windows network adapters. All looks normal.

However when I try to connect using OpenVPN Client to my provider (Buffered), it fails and the log states "There are no TAP-Windows adapters on this system".
Have tried removing and re-installing the TAP Windows Adapter, no change. It's definitely there but not being detected by the OpenVPN client.
Client was run "as administrator".

Buffered have their own client distribution which seems to have the same issue - can't detected the TAP-Windows adapter.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Mike.

(a bit of googling for openVPN and Windows 10 brought up a couple of hits. StrongVPN list instructions on their site for setting up the OpenVPN client on Windows 10 with no special steps, so others must have it working...)

Please post your server and client configs.

You may try using --dev-node name and --dev-type type in your configs ..
this may help windows find the device.

See --dev-node name and --dev-type type in The Manual v23x

You may also try the other version of OpenVPN with NDIS-5 TAP driver.

I have similar problem with using OpenVPN-as.
I am just download msi installer from my server, install and connect.
Everything was fine until build 10049. With this build it does not work. Just can't connect to the server.
I was disable defender and firewall, check all services. Still nothing.
Although on 10041 – still works fine. Even with firewall and defender.
Does someone has in mind what they add in build 10049 that can block connection?

P.S. Build 10056 – same trouble.
