Windows Clients always have to reinstall

bazzacad

Hi,
I'm running pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 with OpenVPN & using the Client Export Tool for Windows 10 (2.4.8-Ix02).
It's running great for most users, but a few of them are a strange issue.
They install the GUI Client & try to connect, but get "Initialization Sequence Completed with Errors."
I've read this post that the error links to: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/259-tap-win32-adapter-is-not-coming-up-initialization-sequence-completed-with-errors

But none of it helps, the DHCP Client Service is running, the TAP adapter isn't being firewalled.

However, if the user uninstalls & reinstalls the OpenVPN Client, then it works perfectly fine on the second instillation.
This happens every time they shutdown or restart their computer. They have to install the OpenVPN client twice to get it to work.
Do you know why this is happening or any suggestions on how to fix it?

My usual advise will not suffice, none-the-less:

No idea what-so-ever .. try it for yourself.

I found this bug report where other users where experiencing the same issue as me.
After reading the commands, I was able to fix my user's connection issues by adding dhcp-renew to their client config file.

Which has absolutely nothing what-so-ever to do with "Re-installing twice" ..
