Windows 10: PPTP doesn't work with VPN integrated server in Windows 10 2004 or 20H2 64bits

Hello, there is a long thread talking of a similar problem with L2TP, that seems to have been solved, but my problem is with PPTP, as the integrated server doesn't support L2TP.


With Windows 10 1909 version, everything works OK, I can connect from my laptop Windows 10 2004 updated till 2021-01 to my desktop, VPN server using PPTP.


But as soon as I update the desktop to 2004 or 20H2 and apply the latest updates KB4593438 2020-12, KB4598242 2021-01 and KB 4586876 Net Framework 3.5 and 4.8, it doesn't work. I initiate VPN connection from the same client Windows 10 2021-01 to the "new" server and it doesn't connect, it stays as "connecting to..." and finally error message "Connection interrupted with server... Might be due to Internet Latency or Server maximum capacity reached..."


Then, I restored the server to the previous 1909 version and it works again OK.


I also sent a feedback message using the "Feedback Center". No answer yet.


I tried all the solutions proposed in the L2TP issue, uninstall and reinstall MiniWAN drivers, deleted and redefined the incoming connection, etc. etc. No way, it doesn't work.


So, it seems that I will have to stay blocked with version 1909 in my VPN Integrated Server Desktop.


Any idea of help?


Any suggestion of solution will be VERY welcomed.


Thanks and best regards.

VPN integrated server not working in Windows 10 2004 64bits

Hi, I have a laptop already running 2004 version of Windows 10 64 bits, that is able to connect to my desktop at home that runs Windows 10 64bits 1909 version thru VPN integrated server without any problem.

I just upgraded the desktop to 2004 version and, since then, no way to connect to the desktop from my laptop. I tried everything, stop antivirus, stop firewall, firewall rules for PPTP are OK, uninstall and reinstall WAN miniports drivers, etc. etc. I also
tried the last updates, no way. Connection remains in "connecting to "server name"".

If I downgrade to the previous 1909 version my desktop, everything works again.

Any ideas of help?

PPTP VPN

I have a PPTP VPN on my Domain that no longer works since the Windows 10 upgrade to my laptop. I get he error about port 1723 and GRE being the most likely cause but they are both enabled on my Dell SonicWall Firewall appliance. Any suggestions would
be appreciated.
