Default Permission problem with openvpn moving from WinXP to Win10 causing route changes to fail

Permission problem with openvpn moving from WinXP to Win10 causing route
changes to fail.

On Windows XP, for years, I have been doubleclicking on any openvpn text
file which is set to open in the "OpenVPN Daemon" and that, in and of
itself, connects me to VPN every time.

File association for WinXP:

File association for Win10:

Using the same file and procedure on Windows 10, the routes all fail due to
a Windows 10 permission problem.

Here's a summary of the openvpn errors:
|---- start -----
FlushIpNetTable failed on interface [17]
{78A54AAA-5893-4E9A-9FAB-429FF3FB3C87} (status=5) : Access is denied.

|---- end -----

I will send out a more detailed description of the error.

I suspect Windows 10 has a special permission that is needed.
But what?
