For Windows Firewall:
From the Control Panel, select ‘Firewall’ then ‘Advanced’
Select the connection that corresponds to your TAP adapter

From the Control Panel, select ‘Administrative Tools’ then ‘Services’ and make sure that the DHCP Client Service is started (see the image below)
If it is not started, right click and start the service.
