OpenVPN GUI for Windows Process keeps getting stuck

Post by jstarr » Mon Mar 14, 2022 6:30 pm

Hello,

We are using OpenVPN GUI v11.14.0.0. This issue started a few weeks ago. Whenever someone is receiving Windows updates and restarts the computer, the OpenVPN GUI is nowhere to be seen in the taskbar. When you try to open the shortcut on the desktop or start menu, nothing happens. However, when you check task manager, you see the process is running. The only workaround I've found is to kill the process in task manger then open up the software from the desktop/start menu and it starts right up. Several people in my organization have had this issue. Is there a way of correcting this?

This is most likely to be a Windows GUI bug.

There is nothing Openvpn can do about it but you could try reporting it to Microsoft.
