Cisco VPN Client Breaks after Windows 10 upgrade Reason 442

Error:- Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the client. Reason 442: Failed to enable Virtual Adapter.

One of the first issues I ran across with Windows 10 is that my Cisco IPsec VPN Client stopped working and wouldn’t connect to the VPN server. I ran into this issue once before on Windows 8.1 and the same fix works for Windows 10. The issue is Cisco IPsc VPN client (5.0.07.0440 for x64, 5.0.07.0410 for x86) is it’s no longer supported on Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.

1. Install and run winfix.exe from Citrix.

2. Restart your system again.
