    "Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings" despite no proxy


    Hello -

    Lately I've been running into an issue where Windows displays a "Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings". I have tried many of the fixes displayed on other websites and troubleshooters - I am able to do most of these fixes flushing the DNS, changing automatic proxy settings through Settings, reinstalling network card drivers, checking to make sure it wasn't a router issue, checking to make sure Internet Explorer or Edge was not attempting to connect to a proxy, cleaning my computer of viruses and malware, resetting and changing network settings.

    I do not have a proxy on this computer.

    I do not know how important this is, but I will add it anyways - intetcpl.cpl will not let me click "OK" to change LAN settings, and winhttpautoproxysvc is automatically disabled and greyed out, so I cannot enable it.

    Is there any way to fix this? If so, how could I fix it?

    :)

    Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings

    @Compumind @Samuria

    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.

    Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings

    Windows 10 Version 1903
    I've only had this desktop a month. Suddenly I couldn't connect to the Internet. I powercycled the network box router & got my Ethernet connection back. Internet functioning SEEMS to be normal, but I still get "Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings” when I run the Network & Internet Settings troubleshooter. Then I tried the Network Adapter troubleshooter for Ethernet & it said "Troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem". This is a home computer. My proxy settings are attached.

    Is there a set of steps to resolve this problem? Thanks very much.
