Hi All
I have an issue with the VPN client on Windows 11, its been working fine till approx. 3 weeks ago when I noticed that I didn't have the VPN option in the pop up toaster, as seen below (Also notice I can't add it either)
I then noticed that all my VPN connections weren't showing in the settings app
I also checked in the Network Connections / Control Panel and no sign of them either
I then removed all the connections using PowerShell since i wasn't able to see them thinking maybe their is some corruption and proceeded to re-add VPN's. I can go through the add VPN wizard and complete it, but then it doesn't shows any of the created VPNs from the wizzard in Win11 settings or the Network Connections / Control Panel area.
Checking with PowerShell and I can see the various VPN's i created
