Windows 8.1 Proxy settings keeps resetting

Hello HidanxZetsu, ,

Thank you for replying with the status of the issue.

1. Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the network adapter which was part of the suggestion in my previous response?

2. Do you have any proxy settings to browser.

Method 1: You can reset the TCP/IP stack from the Command Prompt. Follow the steps.

1. Press Windows +X.

2. Click Command prompt (Admin mode)

3. Type ‘netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt’

4. Press Enter.

5. Reboot the computer.

Method 2: I would suggest you to select the automatically detect settings options and uncheck the proxy and check if it works.

1. go to the network settings.
2. Automatically detect settings.

**Method 3:**Run Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it helps.

Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. During this 10 days, it will remove all the virus infected files and folders. I suggest you to create a backup of your data and then Install Microsoft Safety Scanner.

Hope this information helps, please reply with the status of the issue for further assistance.

Sorry for the late reply but I have not been able to access my laptop for a while.

I did however have Hotspot but I removed it from my computer because i have no interest what so ever of sharing my WiFi.

The first method I have done multiple times without any resolve.

The second method was a temporary fix to the issue but yet my proxy still keep on resetting...

The third method, I did take a look at but was of little help.

Although this time i can provide screen shots to show what is going on with my proxy settings.

lo HidanxZetsu,

1. What is the error message you get while trying to access any website?
2. Do you have Hotspot Shield application installed?

This issue could be due to proxy settings corrupted, I would suggest you to reset all proxy settings and see if it fixes the issue.
