Windows 10: Cannot Start the Routing and Remote Access Service

I get the error below and the event below logged when I try to start the RRAS service. Any ideas?









:)

 

Cannot create New Incoming Connection

I was attempting to setup an incoming VPN connection so I could securely connect to a remote machine of mine (non-domain). In Network Connections I go to File -> New Incoming Connection. I select the user, check off 'Through the Internet', then click
'Allow Access'.

I get the error:

Windows could not create your connection

Incoming connections depend on the Routing and Remote Access Service, which was unable to start. For more information, check the system event log.

In the System event log I have Event 7024:

The Routing and Remote Access service terminated with the following service-specific error:

General access denied error

In services, Routing and Remote Access is set to start automatic, but it is stopped. When I try to start it I get the following error:

The Routing and Remote Access service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.

I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1703 build 15063.138

 

routing and remote access service won't start on windows 10 (creators update)

hm. ill have to try it on a device that still has the anniversary update. its an issue with the update if it works on there

 

Looks like this may be a known bug in the latest CU versions. See this Microsoft Answers post: RRAS unable to start service - Microsoft Community.
