There are no TAP-Windows adapters on this system

There are no TAP-Windows adapters on this system.  You should be able to create a TAP-Windows adapter by going to Start -> All Programs -> TAP-Windows -> Utilities -> Add a new TAP-Windows virtual ethernet adapter.

This does not work in Windows 10. Any ideas?

What is TAP?

Where did you get yours?  Your VPN?  Ask them?

Hi TommyNic,

The below is a similiar thread:

Which I suspect the issue here should be mostly related with 3rd-party VPN software, if possible, please consider seek help at their official website for further assistance.
