VPN Client & AnyCconnect not working windows 11 - error 789.

Hi, many solutions have been suggested on the internet and here, but nothing has helped. After each solution the error changes from 87 to 789.

Uninstalling Miniports and editing the registry did not help. After editing in the registry I get error 87 after 789 and so on round and round.

Error : User SYSTEM dialed a connection named Work VPN which failed. The error code returned on failure is 789.

What exactly brings up the error? Built-in VPN Client or AnyConnect (which should be Secure Client nowadays).

VPN and AnyConnect

I think you are mixing the two Client VPN functionalities. Cisco Anyconnect/Secure Client can not be used for L2TP.

Meraki Client VPN uses L2TP, and it usually something you configure directly in Windows.

If you wan't to use Cisco Secure Client (Anyconnect) you need to conifugre that on the Meraki Dashboard, and not Client VPN.
