Remote Access Connection Manager Service not working, Error 0xc0000005
Before we start talking about the solution, you should know that the Remote Access Connection Manager (RasMan) service manages dial-up and VPN connections from the computer to the Internet or other remote networks. When you connect, the Service dials the connection or send a VPN connection request. However, the issue only occurs when a virtual private network (VPN) profile is configured as an Always On VPN (AOVPN) connection with or without a device tunnel.
You can fix RasMan error 0xc0000005 on Windows 11/10 using the following methods:
- Install KB Update 4505903
- Fix using Group Policy
- Enable Telemetry from Settings
- Use Registry Editor to Enable Telemetry.

Before you begin, ensure that you have Windows Update KB4505903 installed on your computer system.
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and select Check for updates.
If you are using Microsoft Update Catalog to update, then get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website. When using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), you can import this update into WSUS manually.
2] Fix using Group Policy
We will need to enable Telemetry and run the RASMAN service.
- Open Group Policy Editor by typing gpedit.msc in the Run prompt

- Restart Remote Access Connection Manager Service.
4] Use Registry Editor to Enable Telemetry
Open Registry Editor
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection
Locate ‘AllowTelemetry’ entry
Double-click it and enter value 1, 2, or 3 (Basic, Enhanced, Full respectively)
