      We have over a dozen L2TP VPN connections working fine on Windows 7, trying to configure on a new Laptop with Windows 10 Pro and they always try to use IKe2. Have searched many sites an d tried different solutions but still cannot get them to connect to the PF Sense appliance.

        Can you show screenshots?
        Normally you just open the properties of your VPN connection, security tab and set 'Type of VPN' to L2TP.
