How do I turn off Windows 11 VPN, it is affecting my ability to send emails.

Windows 11 doesn't have a VPN. If you want a VPN, you have to sign up with a VPN provider.

Windows has a user interface for a VPN, that you can use with your VPN provider. However, VPN providers prefer that you use their own application software.

I have followed all the instructions for disabling Express VPN. In control panel, for example, it will disable briefly then turn itself back on. Tried deleting the app - says encountered an error and help goes to page not available. Making me crazy. I'm not a programmer to try some of the complicated suggestions. There must be an easy way to disable. I have canceled the service but the VPN still gets in the way

Microsoft should give you a choice if you want a VPN on your computer I have paid £75 for Surfshark which is rated no. 1 VPN but I can't get it to run properly because your update installed your VPN which wasn't wanted now my computer is a complete mess you should give us the choice not just add things to windows without asking or giving me a choice if there was another operating system I would 100% get rid of windows the laptop I gave over £1000 for you are now black-mailing me to scrap because it won't run windows 11 well I am def. not even looking at them

I need to be able to add my new HP printer and I think I may have to disable then re-enable VPN through F-Secure. is this able to be done?

I originally posted the original question back in mid April and Derrick responded (which you see here). That solved my problem, but I don't know anything about VPN other than that.

Sorry.

Thanks,

Vance
