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?

    Thank you Paulie

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

    Thanks

    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.

    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? :)

    we had this on 1903 with Always on VPN

    one of the team found the issue - Allow Telemetry. 

    disable this in group policy makes it work fine..

    testing on 2 laptops fine. will build a 3rd to double check. so far so good.

    (using an Always on VPN with machine certs and automatically detecting and connecting - no clicking on the VPN buttons)

    I tried it.  It worked for a while.  Then my cable modem crashed and VPN connection went down.  Then it wouldn't work anymore.  I tried removing and rebuilding and everything else.  It doesn't work anymore.

    This is pathetic.  I can't believe Microsoft doesn't do basic QA and puts such garbage software out in an "update."

    Does anyone have any other ideas?  I'd downgrade to 1803, but of course that version is not available for download on Microsoft website.
