OpenVPN Connect does not work anymore

Post by majacob » Tue Apr 26, 2022 7:49 am

Hello together,
I hope you can help me?

For some time now, OpenVPN Connect can no longer be opened as a normal user. If I right-click and open it as administrator, it works. Since all employees use it and I don't want to give out an admin password, I hope you can help me. After an update from Windows 10 to Windows 11 it worked again for a short time. Since today, however, the same problem again. I have already reinstalled it several times. Currently we use version 3.3.6.2752

I hope you can tell me what I can do.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Greetings
Marcel

Hello Marcel,

Try checking if file %temp%\.ovpn-connect-lockfile exists in the temp folder of the user. If so, delete it, then try again.

Kind regards,
Johan
