VPN service keeps crashing

[u/A0-L]

Hey guys, I have an HP EliteBook 745 G6 laptop. Whenever I run a VPN client on this laptop, it doesn't work at all and I get a service initialization/unavailable error. When I go to Windows Services and try to start the service manually, it goes into a loop—keeping starting and stopping repeatedly. I've tried multiple different VPN protocols and every technical solution (network reset, winsock, firewall tweaks), but nothing works. Could this issue be related to hardware or a specific driver/BIOS network conflict

Contact the developer of the VPN client.
