This is bad news.
Given that the tap6 driver works on about every version of windows since
Vista, and we've not received any reports about system crashes, I tend to
point at "microsoft broke something in the driver handling" - but have no
idea how to debug that, or what to do about it.
Does this "Insider" program have some sort of feedback mechanism to report
these crashes to Microsoft? So they can look what they changed in the
networking stack that could explain the crashes?
(I'm fairly sure it's not OpenVPN itself as a user program should never ever
be able to cause a bluescreen - but the TAP driver runs inside the kernel,
so any sort of "miscommunication" there can have serious effects)
