Long story short the error "The system cannot find the file specified" when trying to connect to VPN is caused by a corrupt or missing registry.
Just run code bellow in administrator PowerShell console to fix this:
# Create missing registry key
New-Item -Path HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters -Name DnsPolicyConfig
# Configure permissions on key for "NT Authority\DNSCache"
$keyPath = 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters\DnsPolicyConfig'
$acl = Get-Acl -Path $keyPath
$idRef = [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]("NT SERVICE\Dnscache")
$regRights = [System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights]::FullControl
$inhFlags = [System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags]::ContainerInherit
$prFlags = [System.Security.AccessControl.PropagationFlags]::None
$acType = [System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType]::Allow
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule ($idRef, $regRights, $inhFlags, $prFlags, $acType)
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
$acl.SetAccessRule($rule)
$acl | Set-Acl -Path $keyPath
In case 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters\DnsPolicyConfig' already exists and fix didn't help, try to export it (just in case), delete it and ruh the PS code again.
