Change Proxy Settings via Registry Editor
It is important to back up your registry settings before changing them. Hold the Windows Key and press R. Type regedit in the run dialog and click OK. To back up your registry, after opening it, click on File -> Export, name the registry file, e.g.: backupreg, and click Save. To import or restore from the backup, open the registry editor again, click on File -> Import, and select the file you exported earlier, which is your backup. After it has been backed up, navigate to the following path: In the right pane, locate the ProxyEnable string. Right-click on it and choose ‘Delete’. If there are strings such as ProxyServer, Migrate Proxy, and Proxy Override, right-click on each and delete them as well.
Please reboot the PC now and proceed with the test. Also, check out ‘Windows Could Not Automatically Detect This Network’s Proxy Settings’.
