To keep the proxy settings off in Windows, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Internet Options: Go to the Control Panel and select Internet Options.
2. Connections Tab: Click on the Connections tab.
3. LAN Settings: Click on the LAN Settings button.
4. Proxy Server: Ensure that the Use a proxy server for your LAN option is unchecked. If it is checked, uncheck it to turn off the proxy.
5. Apply Changes: Click OK to apply the changes and close the dialog boxes.

If the settings do not stay off, you may need to check for any group policies or third-party applications that might be overriding your settings. Additionally, you can reset the WinHTTP proxy settings using the command prompt:

• Open an elevated command prompt and type:

    netsh winhttp reset proxy
  

This command will reset the proxy settings for WinHTTP, which may help in keeping the proxy off.

If you are still experiencing issues, consider checking for malware or other software that could be affecting your settings.
