Windows 10: How do I disable manual proxy? Every time that I switch my PC on it is automatically enabled.

Every time that I start my PC there's always manual proxy enabled , earlier I didn't notice but later on when I couldn't access some of the sites I checked for the proxy status and the manual proxy was turned on and whenever it is on and I try to access any website that website asks for my microphone and location access but when I turn it off there's no pop up for location or microphone. How do I permanently disable this?

Which is the correct setting for Manual proxy setup?

Great to hear that you were able to resolve the issue when using Microsoft Edge. That is correct, by default the proxy settings are disabled unless you need it for a VPN or a specific application. As long as it does not affect the normal usage of your computer
then it is ok to leave the setting as is. If you want to disable the proxy settings and stop it from automatically turning on, we suggest you follow the below steps to disable Proxy on Windows 10:

• Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app and then navigate to option
  Network & Internet then select Proxy.
• Toggle the option Automatically detect settings to
  ON.
• Toggle the option Use a proxy server to OFF.

If the issue persists, kindly follow the steps on this
link to reset the Internet Explorer settings and then try to disable the Proxy in Internet Explorer.
