Windows 10: Windows 10 unable to gray out proxy settings

Not sure - but my code work a while back with no problems. It seems after a while MS changes something and I am unable to lock down the proxy like before. Anyways, I need to be able to gray out the proxy settings for both limit and administrator accounts. In the registry I set the following and loop over all current users to set the proxy settings. In some cases this works with no problem. It's gray out and works like it should. In others - it'll allow users to turn it off and on.


if proxysetting == "1":

if user_only == 0:

I also tried this setting it only with HKLM - but the problem there is that it pulls old HKLM settings even after cleaning out all registry keys with the old information both on the user and machine. It seems like something really mess up on Windows when it comes to correctly setting what you want in there. This has been going on for a while and I been able to so far fix it by changing out different settings here and there to make it work - but at this point it's getting a bit silly and I like to have a solution for this so I can lock down all the devices I handle.

Hi Raul,

If you're unable to get online because of proxy servers, there is a possibility that
Manual proxy setup is turned on. To turn this off, follow the steps below:

• Click the Windows key.
• Go to Settings.
• Select Network and Internet.
• On the left pane, click Proxy.
• Under Manual proxy setup, toggle off Use a proxy server.

Once done, try to check if you can now go online.

Regards.
