This happens with any openVPN implementation on Windows due to the reliance on the TAP adapter which is specified as a LAN adapter. This is where to save power the WAN adapter is disabled as soon as a LAN adapter is enabled, the idea is that a LAN connection is always going to be better than a WAN connection so the WiFi adapters are no longer required once a LAN one is active. This issue is associated with something called LANWAN switching. Installed Internet Browsers Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 11.472.17134.0ĭescription Intel64 Family 6 Model 78 Stepping 3

This is a wifi only problem and I had no issues until that update in approx October time frame. It works just fine if I plug in my Ethernet cable. I keep researching and always find different suggestions to which I have tried all, but many if not all involve the wifi driver. I have tried installing their beta as well that has a debugger, but I get no replies to sending in the log. I have tried my VPN service support, no help. I was able to do a sys restore a few times but got tired of that as it would eventually find its way to update again. This started with a WIN 10 update a few months ago. I am an IT professional so you can speak to me that way please.

Before this driver it would keep dropping the wifi constantly. I have the latest driver with these results. I then have to turn on my wifi, then connect it again and it usually stays connected after that.
