Windows 10: Proxy error happens daily or every 2 days

I have a Dell Inspiron 7559 that has been working great.


Recently, I bought a new Dell G3 3579. Both connected to Microsoft account, different users but same account.


Ever since I bought the new G3 the old 7559 has issues connecting to the internet due to proxy error, every day or two requires reset.


Issue presents when I open Chrome, no internet connection. Says ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED


Same with Firefox and IE. I verify connection to network is fine.


My solution, Network Reset and restart computer. Reconnect and all works fine.


I believe I tried everything to no avail. I even traveled to my parents house on their internet. After a day or 2 same issue and same reset needed. In both cases my computer was also on network with no issues, I keep thinking they are somehow connected messing up the old computer proxy


Proxy Settings:

• Automatically Detect Setting is ON
• Use Setup Script is OFF
• Manual proxy setup is OFF

Very frustrating since my wife is non-techy and I need to be present to reset every morning.


Any help would be great. I downloaded and ran malwarebytes and CCleaner, no help


Windows 10 Version: 10.0.18362 Build 18362


This has been happening for a few months, finally decided to send this request.

Proxy Server?

When I was in high school, I used this website. It is a website that lists working proxies, updated daily. If you choose the right ones, you can actually successfully watch youtube videos through the proxy!

bah, this site is blocked.

 

Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings

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.
