Windows 10 - No Tap Adapters found
Last updated by Shayne M on February 25, 2019 21:25
Some builds of Windows 10 has broken OpenVPN TAP Adapter
No rebooting required:
- add string value/data ComponentId/tap0901 (REG_SZ) with regedit value name=ComponentIdvalue data=tap0901
to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}[0001]
where [0001] stands for the instance on your system in which you find the REG_SZ string with
value name=ProductName
value data=TAP-Windows Adapter V9 - disable and enable TAP-Windows Adapter V9 in device manager>network adapters to reinitialize the driver with the newly added ComponentId
Click the Windows Start icon. Type “Device Manager” in the search bar to the right of the start icon. Confirm that Tap is shown under one or all of the following depending on your configuration and setup: Audio inputs and outputs; Cameras or Imaging Devices; Sound, video and game controllers; Universal Serial Bus devices; If Tap isn’t listed under any of the above sections, try the following: Try a different USB port; Check if Windows Update is enabled. Thus the driver does not start and there is no tap device. I tried to uninstall old versions, clean the registry, removed suspicious 3rd party software and so on.

Users with Kaspersky Internet Security install might still have issues after following this tutorial.
In order to resolve - You will need to remove Kaspersky, reinstall the VPN / Tap drivers then install Kaspersky back.

Hi, I hope that I am at the right place.Installing Openvpn 2.3.13 failed on win10 with this error message, after two successful installations on other win10 systems.
'An error occurred installing the TAP device driver.'
Installing TAP separately fails with the same error message. In addition, the log shows this sequence at the end:
'Updating drivers for tap0901 from C:Program FilesTAP-WindowsdriverOemVista.inf.
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices failed, GetLastError = -536870330
tapinstall.exe failed.
tapinstall.exe returned: 2
tapinstall cumulative status: 2
Created uninstaller: C:Program FilesTAP-WindowsIninstall.exe

What is going wrong here? What does the error code mean?
I tried several things:
- Openvpn connection to my external server is not possible
- Avira Services deactivated
- Windows firewall deactivated
