VPN not working on Windows 10 1903

Anonymous

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?

    This issue has been resolved. I had created a thread on TechNet and the user Travis Huang was able to provide a solution.

    Simply by connecting to the VPN via the settings menu instead of using the tasktray!

    Thank you for your reply.

    Unfortunately the links in your post have been no help :(

    I have already tried the steps that those sites suggest but still no luck.

    I have created a post on that forum and hopefully I will get some sort of resolution.

    I am still open to any possible solutions if anyone has anything in mind!
