  1. Windows cannot detect Proxy Settings


    I have had this problem and it been ongoing and truly problematic. I attended programming college and this problem will turn your download speed from 300kb/sec to 30kb/sec and you will wonder what is going on. I have troubleshooted this for months and this seems to be the cure or at least over the last 5 hours its happened 5 times and now It is working perfectly. So I attacked the problem at the root the ether-net adapter and this is the cure that I am now downloading at 300kb/sec now. Go to network and internet settings and discover your Ethernet controller. Then navigate, left click on administrative properties and you will discover that there is a tab the last one,click on it and it is clicked for power saver by shutting off the ether-net adapter resulting in the windows being unable to detect the proxy settings throwing you into a deep dark cave that perhaps, you reset your modem, or reset your router, or run registry cleaner and the troubleshooting goes on forever. I solved this problem that has plagued me for perhaps years now and it seems ridiculous for a ether-net adapter to even have a power saving setting!!!! so turn it off, so far the problem is solved. And Microsoft I would love to work for your company. If this solution is correct please contact me and if I am wrong please elaborate the correct solution. This is somehow a conflict with windows update and the power saving mechanism on ether-net adapters, my adapter is a 2015 Realtek PCL e family controller. I hope I helped the community. Thanks for listening.

    2. In Internet Options Window, go toConnections tab.

    3. Click on LAN Settings.

    4. Do the following steps:

    • Uncheck the box Use Proxy Server for your LAN.
    • Check the box Automatically Detect settings.

      command, type inetcpl.cpl.

      Connections

    Step 2: Perform reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults
    and check if it helps.


    • Open the Windows Start Screen or
      Start Menu and type cmd in the search box.

    • Right-click Command Prompt or
      cmd in the search results and select Run as Administrator.

    • Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt window and press
      Enter. Wait for Windows to finish resetting your Winsock configuration.

    • Reboot your computer.

    Hope it helps. Get back to us with the required information and updated status of connecting to internet for further assistance.

    Thank you.
