VPN Connects and then Automatically Disconnects on Windows 10 Overview: VPN is a very useful feature for modern computers in today’s times. It helps commercial as well as non-commercial users in many ways.
For commercial or corporate users, they can access their company’s private servers using this VPN connection, whereas a non-commercial user can privatize their internet connection and access blocked websites by hosting their internet connection remotely.
Some reports say that the VPN connection on some computers disconnects automatically or is not stable enough to be used. This can be caused due to various factors, including driver issues, operating system issues, etc.
