VPN not working on Windows 10 1903

I have found a potential workaround which mayindicate that this is NOT a Windows 10 issue. 

So here is what has worked for one of my client's employees. After exhausting all of my options trying every conceivable combination of VPN settings, Adapter Options and the VPN settings in the ASUS RT-3200 router, I came to the conclusion that it had might be something between her PC and the work router. 

I had everything on her PC set up exactly like mine (Antivirus, Windows version, VPN settings, adapter settings, firewalls, etc) - and mine connected almost instantly and hers did not. This just did not make sense, so I tried looking elsewhere for the cause of her VPN pain.

What are you smoking? 'Cause whatever it is, we all want some.

Seriously, did you read anything before posting? This is NOT the issue. Paying a private VPN does NOT solve any problem. This is NOT a connectivity issue; it is a connect*ing* issue. It *is* a Microsoft issue.

If going through a VPN to connect to a VPN works then it cannot be solely a connectivity issue. If it was, it would not connect through the VPN service.

Do you even know how VPNs work? Regardless of whether the Microsoft VPN client connects directly or through another VPN, it creates a virtual private network using the same connecting protocols. If this were a Microsoft protocol or connectivity issue it would not work through another VPN as the handshakes and connectivity do not change simply because you are tunneling through another VPN.

If you think otherwise, please explain how you think the Microsoft VPN client handshake or connection changes when going through another VPN as opposed to a direct connection and your reasoning for thinking that there is a change.

The issue is down to Windows 10 1903, as I am using the Windows VPN RAS service a Windows Server  as the backend.  If I use any other version of Windows 10 I can connect to VPN fine.

sounds good but the update is not applicatable to my machine.  :(

You can reduce user exposer by setting their updates to:  (under Advanced options)

• Chose When updates are installed:   Set to:  Semi-Annual Channel. 
• Feature updates delayed 365 days (next versions of windows, like 1903, wont be installed until one year after release.
• Quality updates deferred:  30 days

This can be set manually or via group policy or local policy.  You can also use group policy to set updates to longer be automatic, but check and prompt or download and prompt or completely manual, if you want.
