I suspect Windows 10 has a special permission that is needed.
But what?
Here is the complete log of the error.
Do you know what permissions are needed on Windows 10 that weren't needed on Windows XP?
By way of contrast, here's the log of the ovpn file working on WinXP.
Why does any ovpn file work on WinXP but fail due to permissions on Win10?
