I don't see a resolution to this issue. I installed 24H2 3 days ago, just noticed that VPN is not in the systray. It seems to be running as there is a task/service, but I can't tell the status. When I run the app nothing appears.
I tried restoring winmgmt as VPN support suggested, no help. Tried an sfc /scannow. Nothing. Tried downloading the latest VPN version and installing. Nope. Tried R&R the VPN, still no good. Reboots between all of this.
I uninstalled all VPN components, and deleted the VPN software folder from Program Files (x86).
Rebooted and reinstalled the latest VPN I had previously downloaded.
Everything is back to normal. VPN is running, able to open it and select options.
