steven36 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Here is a work around someone post at openvpn seems a lot of windows 10 users have the same issue . Quote Remove the NIC and any "Other Device" which are present. Reboot and try again. Expand https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/592#comment:47 From How to Install Third-Party Network Adapter Drivers Microsoft Quote If you have made several attempts to configure the network adapter or you had another network adapter installed before the adapter you are currently installing, it may be necessary to restore the Windows NT network configuration to the default settings and then reinstall the network adapter driver. To do so, use the following steps: In Control Panel, double-click Network. Click the network adapter on the Select Adapters tab, and then click Remove. Click Close, and then click Yes when you are prompted to restart your computer. Reinstall the network adapter driver. If these steps do not resolve the problem, there may be settings in the registry that are not removed when the adapter is uninstalled. Repeat steps 1-3 above, and then before step 4, follow the procedures in the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 147797 Manually Removing Network Adapter Entries from the Registry146333 How to Remove Network Adapters from the Registry If the network adapter still does not work, contact the manufacturer of the network adapter for an updated driver.

Expand Yes it could be, my client software gave me trouble with the tap before i had to install the tap from openvpn software to fix it . But its updated since then I think my client has fixed this but Ive had it installed since Oct with no trouble .unless i done a clean install with there updated software there's no way too know though . I update the tap myself every time openvpn updates as well as do my online software updates. Its ether you're client not installing it right or you have key stuck in the reg that wont let you install it seems if its not in the device manger.
