was recommended by several windows privacy blogs for windows 10 pro to make it less malware-y. I didn't check all the boxes but looked at each one. I set a restore point. Some services like DNS client won't start anymore. VPN apps with oops-disconnect internet blocking won't work anymore.

Rolling back to the restore point didn't fix this. "Reverting", a feature of the app, didn't fix it either. This is a laptop that will likely be all kinds of not-fun to install fresh windows 10 pro.

Have you uninstalled the VPN?

Start a Command Prompt as Admin
Type or copy and paste this Bold command

DISM /Online /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RestoreHealth and press Enter. When that is complete, type

SFC /scannow and press Enter.

This will replace any missing system files.

If this still does not work, then
Reset Windows (Keeping Files)
