There seem to be two issues that the latest OpenVPN installer has
UNABLE TO INSTALL TAP DRIVER WINDOWS 10 PIA DRIVERS
(i still do wander why other drivers may interfere with the install from openvpn, but that's a diff story)ģ.2 bcedit experiments & windows reboot with "disable driver signature enforcement"ģ.3 manually imported certificates (via certmgr & mmc snap in for the local computer to root & trusted publisher)ģ.4 signed driver myself & used self-signed certificateĪs an experiment, took clean windows 7 圆4 sp1 - installed openvpn - has challenges too, works only under "disable driver signature enforcement".īut at least - tap driver is recognized as a driver - and is loaded properly if one chooses "disable driver signature" so it sorta works.Īfter all the experiments, this is what i came down to: To resolve the tap driver challenges, tried:ģ.1 Full system cleanup (delete all the drivers, openvpn installs, tap installer/reinstalled everything w/ and w/o tap installer) "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. So tap driver isn't being recognized by the system (go to device manager/check network section/see tap driver with yellow triangle on the icon:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ 15:18:46.351 I noted that the driver is not in windows registry. In the meantime, I spent hours and tried a lot of things, no success up to now.
