Windows 7 VPN client drops connection immediately after authentication
Unable to connect to VPN using the Windows 7 client. However, I *CAN* connect to the same VPN using Open VPN. Using the Windows 7 (pro) client, I go all the way through to being authenticated and registered on the system, then am promptly dropped. What
should I check or try changing?

Hi,
Did you get any error message?
First, please check the Event viewer and find the events created by “RemoteAccess” to troubleshoot the issue.
If you can get any error information, as a reference, I would like to share the following article with you:
Troubleshooting common VPN related errors
For a test, I suggest you try to boot into
Clean Boot mode to check what the result is.
Hope it helps.

Alex,
Thank you for the link; it proved helpful. Although the automatic setting should have worked (and did on another PC), it was necessary to set the authentication type on my desktop to keep the connection from dropping.
