How to Configure Network Proxy Settings in Windows 10

Proxies offer many advantages for networks, such as additional security and bandwidth savings. You can set them up in your home if you’re experiencing a slow connection. Windows 10’s Settings app and Control Panel are where you can configure proxy settings. If you are using a proxy to work or school, make sure the Use automatic detection of settings and the Use setup script switch is On under the Automatic Proxy Setup section.

Enter your proxy provider data in the Address and Port fields. Then, select the box that says Use the proxy server to connect to your LAN. Close the Internet Options window.

Malware can cause problems with your network proxy settings and stop you from going online. If the error “Windows cannot automatically detect this network’s proxy settings” persists then run a scan with an anti-malware application and see if that can help.
