Zenmate can’t connect?

The ZenMate for Windows can’t connect then what needs to be done?

Here are some general solutions that you could try in case you experience issues with ZenMate for Windows.

Install a fresh copy - Search out and delete the folder called: C:\Users\<Enter your Windows username>\AppData\Local\ZenMate.

Completely uninstall and reinstall ZenMate - Remove every trace of old versions of ZenMate from your computer and reinstall it again.

Allow ZenMate on Windows Firewall - Search for Windows Firewall on the search section of your Start menu. Click on it. Look at the options and find Allow an app or feature Check if ZenMate is on that list. If not, add ZenMate to the list by clicking on Change settings and then Allow another app.

Make sure the Drivers are up to date

• Activate the ZenMate VPN client and try to connect.
• When it fails to connect, open the Control Panel and in the "Search Control Panel" field, type: "Device Manager".
• Once in Device Manager, look into "Network adapters", the failing mini ports should have a yellow exclamation mark icon next to them.
• Right-click on each marked Miniport, then "Update Driver Software" -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick a driver from a list" -> uncheck "Show compatible hardware" and wait for drivers listing generation. Then pick the first "Microsoft" drivers listed [BlueTooth Personal], and ignore warnings. The broken and undeletable Miniport will then become a fake Bluetooth card, which you will be able to delete.
• Repeat step 4 for all mini ports.
• Reboot the system.
• When trying to connect the VPN client next time, all mini ports will be recreated and the VPN should be connecting successfully.

Switch your Network connection - You could change between the cable network and WiFi and restart your router.

• Select the Start button, then select Settings > Accounts > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC.
• Enter a username, password, password hint, and then select Next.
• Install ZenMate on the new User
