Okay, so I wasn\u2019t sure how to title this article. However, I will endeavor to explain my frustration I am having with Windows 10\u2019s VPN settings.<\/p>\n
Whenever I click the network icon in Windows 10, it will bring up my local connection, WiFinetworks, and VPN connections. When I select my VPN connection instead of being able to connect directly from the first network setting list I get directed into the Settings app in Windows 10.<\/p>\n
Connect is \u201cMissing\u201d underneath my VPN connection on Windows 10. From the Settings app in Windows 10, I can then select my VPN connection and click connect.<\/p>\n
I know this may sound quite trivial but it is a frustration especially since it feels like we took a step back from Windows 7 and Windows 8.<\/p>\n
I did some searching online to see if I was alone in my complaint. I certainly wasn\u2019t. I found this thread on Microsoft\u2019s forums with other people frustrated with the same limitation. On this forum I came across a work around to allow me to connect from the first list of network connections. Thanks Tobias.Csaki<\/p>\n
Here are the steps to accomplish this.<\/p>\n
1. Open Regedit ( How did you know this wasn\u2019t coming ha! ) (WIN+R and type regedit.exe)<\/p>\n
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Control Panel\\Settings\\Network<\/p>\n
3. Take ownership of the \u201cNetwork\u201d key\/folder (right click, Permissions)<\/p>\n
4. Select \u201cAdvanced\u201d in the Permissions window<\/p>\n
5. In the Advanced window, select \u201cChange\u201d where the owner field is (at the top of the window)<\/p>\n
6. Type in your username and save your changes.<\/p>\n
7. Close the advanced window<\/p>\n
8. Now select \u201cAdministrators\u201d in the security tab<\/p>\n
9. Make sure \u201cFull control\u201d is selected, then apply changes<\/p>\n
10. Now that\u2019s done, double click \u201cReplaceVan”<\/p>\n
11. Change it\u2019s value to 2<\/p>\n
These changes should take place without having to reboot. Now when you click the network connections icon you will get a Windows 8 type network menu that allows you to connect to your VPN connections.<\/p>\n
You can also set these values:
\n0 – to open the default Network flyout.
\n1 – to open Network settings in the Settings app.
\n2 – to open a Windows 8-like Network pane.<\/p>\n
— EDIT 20170427: this seems to be problem when connecting to protected WiFi Network after update Windows 10 Anniversary, so i just revert it back to value 0, for efficiency I use batch file to connect VPN Easily, I’ll share next time<\/p>\n
