Why is Windows 11 not allowing VPN connections?

I have upgraded my old Windows 10 PC to a Windows 11 laptop.

I don't use my old computer for anything apart from web browsing and some of my work on it. When I turn on the laptop for the first time the Windows 11 operating system pops up a warning screen that there are some updates for the system. I agree to this and everything goes fine until I see a 'Restart Required' message at the end of the update cycle, so I click OK, but after about two seconds the screen reverts back to the Welcome screen which then asks me if I want to start the update again. I try the same procedure again a couple of times but eventually every time I attempt to connect to a VPN it won't connect and I keep being presented with the 'not enabled' message. After about two minutes the system just boots normally and I no longer get the problem. Anyone else experienced this or know why the issue is happening?

This is actually caused by UAC. In Windows 10 the UAC prompt was displayed while the update was still being installed. If you allow the operation to proceed (by pressing the OK button) the UAC prompts will disappear and in Windows 11 they simply do not appear any more.

But even if the UAC prompt is gone the system has not switched to the new Windows 11 (I presume) mode. You should now be able to configure your VPN connections without any problems.

If you still experience a problem, see this: Can I install Windows 10 even when there's an earlier version of the OS? Thanks @JorgenEiriksen, that solved the problem as you suspected. I hadn't noticed the UAC prompt at all and so assumed that it was because the upgrade hadn't properly started! - jasondoyleAug 3 '17 at 22:26. What makes you say the upgrade didn't "properly start"? The "Restart Required" message does show in the Windows 10 Update screen but that was before, when the UAC wasn't present. When the UAC prompt disappeared my new Windows 11 laptop boots normally now.

How do I open VPN properties in Windows 11?

I am using Windows 10.

I have an Apple iPhone 4S running iOS 8.2 and an Apple iPad Mini 3 running iOS 8. I want to use these devices to connect to my corporate VPN. I have configured the VPN but cannot figure out how to open VPN properties on the iPhone and iPad. I have already gone into the Network and Sharing Center, changed the setting to "Allow other users to connect through this computer", and added my username/password for the VPN. When I start up the iPhone or iPad, it tries to connect for a few seconds, then nothing. It doesn't give me any error message. Nothing happens.

It's a bit late, but here's the solution I've been using since Windows 7. Open the control panel, go to Network & Internet, then to Network and Sharing Center, then select Change Advanced Sharing Settings. Uncheck "Allow other users to connect through this computer". Check "Connect using a secured connection (VPN)". Click "Apply", then "OK". Click "Change Settings." Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" from the drop-down list, then click "OK". On the IPv4 Settings tab, click "Use the following IP address:" and type the IP address of your VPN server in the text box. Click "Ok". On the General tab, click "Close". On the Advanced tab, click "Close". Click "OK" on all windows. Open a command prompt as administrator and run ipconfig /renew. (For some reason, the above solution didn't work for me with Windows 10. I had to open the control panel, go to Network & Internet, then to Wi-Fi, then to VPN properties, and check "Allow other users to connect through this computer".
