Solution 1

In Windows, standard VPN connections are considered "Dial-up adapters".

Go into "Change Adapter Settings" in the left-hand pane of the Network and Sharing Center, and delete it there.

Another way to do it:

  1. Move to the right of your screen
  2. Click "Settings"
  3. Choose "Change PC Settings"
  4. Choose "Network" and then "Connections"

and another way:

  1. Go to "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk"
  2. Delete the "rasphone.pbk" file

    Things i've tried:

    • right-clicking the connection name
    • hold-clicking the connection name
    • sliding to the left on the connection name
    • slide to the right
    • two hops this time
    • take it back now y'all
