VPN Issue

sorry if wrong forum, not sure where this goes ...

I recently installed a vpn app. I intentionally run this independently. Shortly after, at the top of the available network list a VPN item appeared. I traced it to Settings > Network & Internet > VPN. So I selected it and cliked 'Remove' and this action removed 'VPN' from the list. It then showed a notice that I would have to set it up again. However, it re-appears now & then in the network list.

Short of uninstalling the vpn app how can I force Windows to stop putting it there?

-thx

Is there no one to help me with this issue?

Uninstall the app and do a system restore.

Thx - re-visit the op. uninstalling the app is mentioned.

however, per your advice I did the uninstall and restore. however, i re-installed the app after post restore boot followed with post- vpn app install restart. - no joy.

fwiw I am now sure this happens at pc power-up. Hope this info helps.

So why did you reinstall the app if you are trying to troubleshoot the problem?

I did as you advised. If the vpn app is not installed the problem is resolved. However, I want the vpn app. I must be confusing you somehow. sorry.

Can I get some screen grabs or more details because I'm having a hard time understanding what it is you want fixed.
