Hi!

I just did a fresh install of OpenVPN 2.4.7 
(openvpn-install-2.4.7-I606-Win10.exe)
on Windows 10 and tried to get OpenVPNService (openvpnserv2.exe) working.

For previous versions I then just had to drop the .ovpn file into
C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config and that was it.
This does not work anymore for me!

After a lot of digging I found this merge request [1] that changes the registry
entry the service looks for from "config_dir" to "autostart_config_dir"!
Manually adding the "autostart_config_dir" and setting the value to
C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config got it finally working again!

It looks like this is change was introduced recently but neither documented 
here [2],
nor considered in the install process where the default registry entries are 
created...

Did anybody else run into this?

Thanks,
David
