Windows 10 VPN-problem after update to 1903 [workaround]

After installing the 1903 Windows 10 update, also called may 2019 update, users experience problems when trying to connect a VPN connection.

The problem occurs when clicking Connect on the VPN-connection through the system tray. When the dialog box for user name and password should appear, nothing happens.

Until Microsoft solves this a temporary workaround is to connect through the control panel.

• Click on the Windows start button (the Windows flag in the bottom left corner)
• Click on the cogwheel for Settings
• In the control panel search box, type “VPN” and select “VPN-settings“
• Click on the connection you want to use to display the Connect button
• Click the Connect button and now the dialog box for user name and password will display and you can connect as usual
