  1. Windows could not automatically detect the network’s proxy server settings


    About the time of the last Windows 10 update, my PC lost its reliable WiFi connectivity to the internet. Troubleshooting yielded the error message in the title of this post.


    Researching the "try this" approaches to fix the problem, I have completed the following:


    Windows could not automatically detect the network’s proxy server settings cdc6eac9-c3a5-44f5-a558-f02998bbb148?upload=true.jpg


    Some are listed but couldn't be done --- those having to do with an Ethernet connection between the PC and the router. I am strictly WiFi.


    All other WiFi devices in the house --- phones, iPads, laptops, streaming boxes, etc. work fine.


    Are there other things to try, or is my PC basically been trashed by Windows 10?

    :)

    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.

      Network proxy settings.
    • Under Automatic Proxy setup, set Automatically detect settings bar to ON.
    • Under Manual Proxy settings, set Use a proxy server bar to OFF.
    • Click on Save.
