VPN does not start when computer starts. I have checked the Startup option in Settings, but I still have to start it manually.
It used to do this w/o problem, but it hasn't worked for a couple of months. 
I keep hoping it's a bug that would be fixed at the next update but hasn't happened.

Glad to know that, Phil. Thank you for updating the status. Have a great day. Stay safe!

This corrected my issue.
I unticked the Exclude Trusted network option, restarted, and the VPN is on.
Thank you!
