TAP-Windows, free download. TAP-Windows 9.23.3: OpenVPN uses TAP-windows to provide virtual tap device functionality on Windows. Normally you don't need to install TAP-windows separately, as OpenVPN installers include it. So I was upgrading to Windows 10 recently from Windows 7 Home Premium. I had the TAP virtual driver installed and even after the upgrade everything worked fine. But suddenly (not sure if a Windows update was involved), the adapter stopped working. I realised this as I tried to connect to an IPVanish server; the software just wouldn't connect.

Install is complete when drivers are installed. None of them can be attributed to TAP-Windows Adapter V9. I followed the instruction given by the link above (which is not very clear), with no success. On my other win10 system, I see 17 entries, and entry 0015 can be attributed to the TAP driver.
I see that this is an older post - I too had the same issues with installing the ExpressVPN Tap adapter and I needed a 'digitally signed' driver to get the TAP Adapter to function properly. I contacted Express VPN support and they directed to me to install an older version of the ExpressVPN Software.

I don't know about you - but I like the latest and greatest software on my machine and I didn't want to settle for an older version - so I set about working out this issue. I am going to attach a picture so you can see that I worked it out. I am NOT going to mention the resolution unless you remark that you still want / need it. If you have it worked out and don't feel like messing with it - No worries - I just don't want to waste my time creating a tutorial when it's not needed.

Take a look at the picture - and you can see that I have all the ingredients for a 'digitally signed' driver error, but it's working like a charm. Let me know if you'd like the work-around - It's relatively simple to do.
