    VPN non-functional after recent Windows 10 update, cannot create new VPNs through GUI or PS


    After letting Windows reboot and install updates today, I cannot use VPNs.


    My existing VPN connection no longer shows in the VPN page of Settings.


    If I try to create a new VPN connection and click Save, the button becomes greyed out and nothing happens


    If I try to create a VPN connection with PowerShell, I get a "Provider load failure" error. Nothing I've found on the Internet has shed any light on this at all, there's zero hits in any search engine for "Add-VpnConnection" + "Provider load failure". This topic will probably be the first one.


    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Add-VpnConnection -Name "VPN" -ServerAddress "example.com"

    Add-VpnConnection : Provider load failure

    At line:1 char:1

    + Add-VpnConnection -Name "Work VPN" -ServerAddress "example.com"

    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: PS_VpnConnection:root/Microsoft/...S_VpnConnection [Add-VpnConnection],

    CimException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80041013,Add-VpnConnection


    I don't have security software running that could interfere with anything as far as I know. MBAM is installed but has no real-time protection enabled, and I haven't updated it in a few days anyways. Windows Defender is the only other thing.

    :)

    Hi everyone.
    I am not an expert about Vpn and that's why I would like to know if someone could list me a few trusted Vpns, I would really appreciate any suggestion/ advice.

    Thanks.

    AirVPN

    In contrast to all the big names such as IPVanish, TorGuard, Hide My Ass!, PIA etc, AirVPN has been the most useful in terms of performance, cost, privacy and service.

    • No torrent (or other format) throttling
    • No region/server locking
    • Full server stats live, with reports and repair ETAs
    • Packages include complete tunneling and multiple protocols
    • Can be setup for virtually any platform(including a easy to use Windows package)[also user guides exist for bespoke arrangements, such as pfSense, which I run]
    • Their website/user portal is very thorough and flexible. You can build custom VPN configuration files
    • Cost is extremely good for what you get
    • Service is often quick and prompt
    • Forums are active
    • They tick all the privacy qualifications, no record keeping
