Just FYI just tried connecting via settings with remembered credentials then disconnecting through the task bar. After disconnecting through the task bar the remembered credentials method worked on the next taskbar connect.

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?

2019-06-13T19:50:53+00:00 I use built-in windows VPN client with L2TP protocol and encountered the same problem right after installing Update 1903. I noticed, that after update installation the system actually didn't reboot. I would know that, because I use BitLocker encryption and when the computer really reboots I have to enter the password for boot to proceed.
So, I rebooted my computer and voila, VPN is working again.
Seems, it's a universal troubleshooting procedure in Windows OS.
Hope it will help you.

Just spreading the news of the workaround among my staff. I guess stay tuned? Magically it'll get fixed with some hotfix and no one will be the wiser: everyone will have reverted to connecting the hard way, heh.

2019-06-15T14:21:51+00:00 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.
