In Windows 10 (an upgrade from Windows 8.1), old VPN PPTP connections were not correctly migrated.
Created new VPN PPTP connection which was not working. Error message:
A Connection to the remote computer could not be established.

I didn't know what "Refresh" meant in this context, but clicking "Scan for changes" worked for me– MattCommented Feb 22, 2017 at 21:06

Thank you, it works! You should also uninstall WAN Miniport (L2TP) if your VPN is L2TP/IPSec (my case).– pakmanCommented Feb 19, 2021 at 15:35
