Windows 10: How to fix, "Windows "not automatically detecting my proxy settings

I need to fix this because I'm trying to earn "Microsoft" rewards but one of the poll that I clicked on was blocked by a VPN or a Anti-virus or Firewall, so it says to run the troubleshooter, so I do that then it says "Windows" could not automatically detect my proxy settings but didn`t fix it automatically, so does anyone have any advice of how to fix it?

Hi - Just so you know, I'm marking this "problem solved". I found this online How to Solve the Windows Could Not Automatically Detect Network Proxy Settings Error. Doing the last step under #2 is what solved the problem. McAvee is still scanning incoming. McAvee & Malwarebytes still show no problems with a full scan. Thanks for your help and suggestions.

 

Can't fix "windows could not automatically detect this networks proxy settings"

Hi Seismicdude,

Thank you for the detailed description of your problem and for sharing the steps that you've already tried. Getting the error Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings may have something to
do with the Internet Settings, the TCP/IP settings, or could be caused by the antivirus installed on your computer.

Disable or uninstall antivirus software

• Some antivirus software causes issues with proxy in Windows 10. If you have other antivirus software installed on your computer other than Windows Defender that comes with Windows 10, I suggest that you temporarily
  disable or uninstall it for us to isolate the problem. If removing it resolves the issue, then it definitely is causing the problem. You can utilize Windows Defender to protect your computer.

Change proxy settings

1. Navigate to Settings > Network & Internet.
2. In the left pane, click Proxy.
3. Under Automatic proxy setup, toggle off Automatically detect settings.

Reset TCP/IP

1. Right-click Windows key and select
   Command Prompt (Admin).
2. In the command prompt window, type in
   netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt and press
   Enter.
3. Restart your computer and see if it works.

Reset Internet Settings

1. In Cortana search, type in Internet Options, and select it from the search results.
2. Click the Advanced tab, then click
   Reset. (Deleting personal settings is optional.)
3. Click Apply, then
   OK.

If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

Regards.
