Windows 10: TCP/IP interface metric issue

There is a common issue the company I work at recently has had. The issue begins when we move an associate to work using our new VPN solution and then the interface metric of that VPN's TAP adapter matches the interface metric of their wired ethernet connection.We resolve this by forcing their TAP adapter to have interface metric of 1.This has worked for everybody until recently, and I have one user that whenever he restarts his Surface Pro 4 that his interface metric reverts back to 25, which is also the automatic setting.I have tried to make this setting change multiple ways, through Windows
