VPN not working on Windows 10 1903

I am an IT technician at an IT company. One of our clients has asked us to install a fresh version of Windows onto 6 of their PCs.

These PC's are old PC's that they do not use - meaning that they have had a fresh version of Windows installed onto them. This has been upgraded to 1903. I have attempted to setup a VPN connection in order to connect the PC's to the company's domain. When doing so, the VPN connection just hangs on 'Connecting to vpn'

I know 1903 is still very new into the world, but wondering if anyone knows how this issue can be resolved?

    Me too - kind of a step back in time though...I've put the shortcut on people's taskbar because how will we ever know it's fixed right? :)

    Paulie thanks for the work around. Talk about going "back in time." At least I can now connect to my VPN until 1903 has been properly fixed.

    KoreLinq thanks for giving the information in this thread as well. I'm just thankful this update hasn't been pushed down to my typical remote users and I've only had to deal with it so far.

    Thank you Paulie

    I like this workaround even though it feels like back-to-the-future!

    Thanks

    I upgraded this week and had the same problem and found an easy to implement workaround, I have put the details on my blog:

    https://www.tachytelic.net/2019/06/vpn-connections-not-working-windows-10-1903-update/

    Basically it involves using the old rasphone executable to connect to your VPN connections instead of the new Windows 10 tray interface. It's not a fix but it is very easy to implement and actually the old interface is a bit more informative than the new one.
