How to Fix the “Windows Can’t Detect Network Proxy Settings” Error in Windows 10

Windows 10 uses network proxy settings to transfer all internet traffic through central servers instead of directly to the internet. This is a common practice in schools and businesses as it protects against malicious attacks and enhances security. Unfortunately, this could mean that if a proxy server is down or misconfigured, users may not be able to connect to the internet at all. This is a relatively easy problem to resolve. This article will go over several different ways to repair the “Windows cannot recognize the settings of a network proxy” error in Windows 10. This article will discuss various ways to fix the “Windows can’t detect the settings for a network proxy” error in Windows 10.

Open the Control Panel and click on Network and Internet. Then you can click on Internet Options. When the Internet Options dialog opens, make sure that Use a Proxy Server is not selected. If you’re using a corporate network or a school network, ask your system administrator what the preferred proxy settings are.

If you’re not able to alter your network settings through the Settings app or via the traditional Internet Options dialog box, it’s possible that an additional program is interfering with them. Try disable your firewall, VPN and antivirus software one at a time until you determine the one that’s responsible for the issue. If all else fails try a system restore point that was created prior to the problem.
