Connecting with OpenVPN Causes Wifi to Disable

Posted by admin | Jul 8, 2019 | All, Windows | 0 |

This apparently happened because of a settings in the BIOS for LAN/WLAN auto switching. Here are some screenshots to the setting on a HP Elitebook 840:

In the event you have a BIOS password and cannot do this all is not lost. In Windows disable the following services:

HP LAN/WLAN/WWAN Switching UWP Service (still did not work after this one was disabled but probably a safe bet to keep disabled)
LAN/WAN Switching Service (this one did the trick)
