Failed to install tap adapter windows 10 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:
Failed to install tap adapter windows 10 full#
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. W 2016.08.In the meantime, I spent hours and tried a lot of things, no success up to now.

If I close the client then it appears to close OK but then my main internet connection is non-functional and I have to reboot my machine to get connectivity back. If I try to logout generally nothing happens. It then appears to connect to another server but there's no data transfer, I then usually get another diconnect. Then I get a notification 'Authorization check failed, continue anyway' notification. The client tries to reconnect to another server, I get the 'Connecting to xxxxxxxxxx' notification. However, as soon as I start eMule and start to transfer files I get a 'Disconnecting' notification. I've left the machine idle for up to an hour and the connections holds. The connection seems to stay stable with light surfing. I've tried removing the TAP drivers in device manager and then letting the client reinstall them but the problem remains the same.īasically, I can log in to AirVPN with the client and then connect to a recommended server. OK, I just upgraded my 32bit Win7 system to 64bit Win10 (fresh install) and I'm now getting a disconnect every time I try to run eMule. This isn't the most current one, but AirVPN works again.
Now looking at Device Manager, I only have one TAP driver (9.0.0.21).

I can't remember all of the notifications that popped up, but I do remember seeing that AirVPN was going to upgrade my TAP driver. I already had AirVPN installed, so I started it like normal.

So I right clicked on each one, clicked uninstall (I checked the box to remove software since some of the drivers had that as an option) on each driver. I opened up Device Manager, clicked on "Network Adapters" and saw I had about 10 different occurences of TAP drivers (probably from every time I tried to reinstall). Maybe this should have stated in the directions above because I thought using cmd to uninstall the TAP drivers was the appropriate way. I tried to uninstall TAP through cmd but even with Open VPN and AirVPN uninstalled I would still get an error when installing the TAP driver. I originally had 3 versions of TAP installed according to cmd. I thought that I had followed the directions above but could never get AirVPN to work.
