Windows 10: VPN connection gone after Windows 10 update. Cannot open VPN settings.

Hi!

I've updated my Windows 10 Education edition to the latest version this weekend. I tried logging into my workplace VPN this morning and found that the connection was gone, so I tried to go to the VPN settings to re-add it, but when I click on "VPN settings" it just loads forever (I see the blue background with the white cogwheel). If I try to access the same menu from the Network & Internet settings, the Window just freezes as soon as I click on the "VPN" option.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Every other settings menu seems to be accessible just fine, only the VPN settings is having issues.

Thanks in advance!

VPN link in network connection opens VPN settings instead of connecting to VPN

I've set up a VPN connection to my home network and it displays when you click on the network connection tray icon. However, when you click on the link for the VPN, instead of connecting you, it just opens the VPN settings screen. This is annoying. If
it's already set up, just connect! That's how it used to work in older versions of windows. Now it requires an extra window and an extra step.
