Windows 10 VPN client is not working

24

In Windows 10 (an upgrade from Windows 8.1), old VPN PPTP connections were not correctly migrated.

Created new VPN PPTP connection which was not working.  Error message:

A Connection to the remote computer could not be established.

I didn't know what "Refresh" meant in this context, but clicking "Scan for changes" worked for me – Matt – 2017-02-22T21:06:10.510
