Windows 10: Cannot edit Windows 10 VPN Connection

I have a VPN connection setup on my Windows 10 laptop on build 10240 which has been working fine for three months.. It has somehow become corrupted so I cannot connect with it, edit it or delete it from within Settings. I also cannot delete or change it from the Network Adaptors screen in Control Panel. I am also unable to create a new VPN connection.

Can someone advise how to fix this, or whether I can delete it directly in the registry?

Windows 10 Home Edition initiating a PPTP VPN Connection to office.

I've looked at the version differences between Windows 10 Home and Professional and I see that a Home version cannot join a Domain. My question is;

Can the Home Edition of Windows 10 connect to a network (SBS 2011) using the build in VPN Settings (PPTP)? I've only ever done this with Windows 7 Pro and Windows 10 Pro but didn't know if it was possible with Windows 10 Home edition.

Thank You

 

Windows 10 Add VPN not working

I had a VPN connection setup on my Windows 10 laptop on build 10240 which has been working fine for three months.. It has somehow become corrupted so I could not connect with it, edit it or delete it from within the Settings App. I eventually managed to
delete it from the Network Adaptors screen in Control Panel combined with running sfc / scannow. However now I cannot add a new VPN connection form the Settings app. When I click on the + sign to add new VPN the Settings App freezes and nothing happens.

Is there any way I can reset the Settings App to overcome this issue or any other way I can create a VPN connection?

 

I've had all sorts of issues with my vpn's screwing up on 10, the only way I've found to remove a connection other than in settings is via a powershell command (I don't know much about powershell, I just google copy&paste).

These may help (see examples at the end).Remove VPN - Remove-VpnConnection
Add VPN - Add-VpnConnection

 

Thanks for this link - while you were sending it I was running chkdsk /r and sfc /scannow and between them they have removed the broken VPN connection. However I am still not able to create a new VPN connection, so my problem has now changed to how do I restore the broken VPN functionality?

When I have time I will try the Add VPN connection method you posted above - looks right on the limit of my technical understanding (or beyond!!) to get the right parameters though.
