Windows 10: Can't setup VPN on Windows 10 Pro

We're having a problem setting up one of our computers with a PPTP client. I have set it up on my laptop and it is working fine, so please don't send me a link on how to set up a VPN.


OK, so "settings", "Network & Internet", from the left panel "VPN", "add a VPN" and one gets the VPN setup menu. When I do it on my laptop, I select the VPN Provider "Window built-in" which is the only option. In the next place I enter a name for the connection ie "VPN to work", although we have tried several others. Now in the next place I enter the IP address of the VPN server. At this point the remaining data entry locations are open and the VPN type allows me to select PPTP, enter a username and then password. All is fine!!


On the other computer I proceeded as above but the VPN Provider selection area does not seem to hold the "Windows built-in" selection and then after entering the name and IP address, the rest of the entry areas (VPN Type, Username and Password) are greyed out/locked, ie no data can be entered.


Both computers are Windows 10 Pro, fully updated.


What is the issue and how do we get it fixed?


Thanks....RDK

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
