Windows 10: ROOT\NET\0002 error on TAP-windows adapter v9

Hi, This problem started about five days ago.I ran my vpn to connect to the internet I use vpn because of the censorship policies of the foreign country I work for to be able to use sites like youtube, twitter , etc. but an error was shown: "failed to initialize vpn adapter." I reinstalled the vpn, used an updated version, updated adapter drivers in device manger but nothing changed the error. Then I checked the event log of the TAP windows adapter v9. At the last row it shows: "device not started." In the information box it says:" Device ROOT\NET\0002 had a problem starting.Driver Name: oem

Supplementary information from the site:

Occasionally you may need play with different TAP-driver versions. In this case you can use devcon.exe from the Windows command-prompt. Below are some common commands you can run from an administrator Powershell
or cmd.exe console:

Notes:

• <id> refers to the driver identifier which is tap0901 for OpenVPN 2.2+, but may be different in older/newer OpenVPN versions.
• <something.inf> is typically OemWin2k.inf (old tap-drivers) or OemVista.inf (newer tap-drivers). You need to specify the full path to this file, e.g.C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\driver\OemVista.inf.

By installing multiple times, you will create additional TAP-Windows adapter instances, which can be used for multiple concurrent VPN tunnels. It is also possible to install using Control Panel -> Add New Hardware,
and it is possible to uninstall using Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager.

TAP-Windows adapter v9 error

My Surface Pro says there is a problem with my TAP-Windows adapter v9 but troubleshooter can't identify it. I have tried disabling and re-enabling it, but that hasn't worked. I also have not installed a VPN, so that is not the cause. I don't know how to
fix this and I really don't want to reset my PC. I've been considering getting a VPN. Would uninstalling my TAP adapter and then installing the one that comes with the VPN fix it? or should I just uninstall it and live with it. Other people have said that
uninstalling the TAP adapter effected their internet connection. As a college student who is studying virtually due to COVID, I can't really risk having no internet connection. Please help.
