How To resolve VPN or PPPOE Error 720 in Windows OS ?

The error code 720 which occurs usually while establishing a connection to remote server using PPP. this problem can appear out of the blue for no reason in Windows OS but most probable cause is the some internal TCP/IP stack issue which can be caused due to corrupted WAN miniports.

I will here share what actually works for me.
