Hi,

After I updated Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2 the system stops processing PPTP incoming connections after sleep or hibernation. The problem disappears after reboot (very repeatable).


Process System (PID 4) does not open port 1723. There are no records in the logs. Restarting the service "Routing and Remote Access" does not solve the problem. Reinstallation of the OS doesn't solve the problem. As stated above, the only way to resolve the problem is to reboot.
