    Cannot Change Proxy Settings (WiFi)


    I am unable to change the Proxy Settings for my WiFi, in both Settings App and Internet Options

    (The Ok button does not respond in Internet Options, In the Settings app the enable proxy option gets disabled again).

    When I run the network troubleshooter, I get the following message:-

    "Windows Could not Automatically Detect Network’s Proxy Settings"

    I have tried all the methods given in the below article:-

    https://windowsreport.com/windows-could-not-automatically-detect-networks-proxy-settings/

    Please help!!!

    I am unable to use the Microsoft Store which again and again shows Error 0x80073CF9, rest all works fine.

    Thank you

    :)

  2. proxy settings..

    Hi,

    Issues with the proxy settings are usually caused by broken system components. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
    • What changes have you made to the registry? Kindly provide us a screenshot of the changes that you made.
    • To avoid redundancy, what are the troubleshooting steps that you've already performed?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you create a test user profile. Check if you will have the same issue with proxy settings. This is for us to verify if the issue is isolated with one user profile or with multiple accounts.

    To create a test user profile, follow these steps:

    • Using Cortana search, type Settings and then hit the Enter key.
    • In the Settings window, select Accounts.
    • Select Family & other people.
    • Choose Add someone else to this PC.
    • Click I don't have this person's sign-in information.
    • Click Add a user without a Microsoft account.
    • Name the user as TEST and then provide a password.

    We are looking forward to your response.

    Cannot Change Proxy Settings (WiFi)

    My proxy settings keep being changed

    Hi Rob,

    A proxy server works like a secondary hub that offers a computer network service to allow clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. To resolve your concern regarding proxy server, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • Which Windows version and built is your device running? Type winver on the search bar and press
      Enter to find out.
    • Have you made any recent changes prior to the concern?

    In the meantime, you may click this link and follow the steps in resetting your Internet
    Explorer proxy settings.

    You may also set up a proxy using Edge. You may check the steps provided below:

    • Open Edge.
    • Click the three dotted lines in the top-right corner of the window.
    • Select Settings.
    • Scroll down and click View advanced settings.
    • Choose Open proxy settings.
    • Click the switch beneath Use a proxy server to turn it on.
    • Select the Address field.
    • Type the IP address of the proxy server you're using.
    • Click the Port field.
    • Type the port number.
    • Click Save.

    Get back to us with the result.
