I'm dealing with an annoying issue on my Server 2025 where the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) gets stuck in a 'stopping' state during restarts. It's causing the whole process to hang and eventually leads to a BSOD after about 20 minutes. I've seen similar cases discussed online but I'm looking for specific fixes or if there's a way to force the service to stop when it gets stuck. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried finding the service's PID and force-ending it? I know a PowerShell one-liner that can do that, but I'm on mobile right now and can't pull it up. It might help kick the service out of that hanging state.
Same here, I tried force-ending the PID and it just wasn't responding. Very frustrating!
I've been running an RRAS setup with SSTP on Server 2025 for a couple of months and haven't encountered any issues. Can you share more about your specific configuration? The link you referenced only mentions disabling IPv6, which can cause problems if done incorrectly!
I built the server from scratch, configured RRAS for VPN only, and added a cert for SSL VPN. We're using RADIUS authentication. That's pretty much it!
Yeah, I gave that a shot, but it's still completely stuck. Nothing seems to work.
