You should be able to create a TAP-Windows adapter by going to Start -> All Programs -> OpenVPN -> Add a new TAP-Windows virtual ethernet adapter. The log recommends running "Start -> All Programs -> OpenVPN -> Add a new TAP-Windows virtual ethernet adapter", but recent versions of OpenVPN don't install that anymore.

How do I enable the tap adapter in Windows 10?

To do so, open Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Click on Change Adapter Settings to open Network Connections. You will see that one of the local area connections will have an under name TAP-Windows Adapter. Right-click on it and select Disable. After a few seconds again right-click on it and select Enable.

I found a solution to this. It's bloody witchcraft, but it works.

When you install the client, open Control Panel > Network Connections.

You'll see a disabled network connection that was added by the TAP installer (Local Area Connection 3 or some such).

Right Click it, click Enable.

The device will not reset itself to enabled, but that's ok; try connecting w/ the client again. It'll work.
