Automatic Proxy setup cannot save setting change

Hi

I am running Windows 10 and I keep losing internet connection and when I run troubleshooter I get error message 'Windows cannot automatically detect proxy settings',  I then open network & connections select proxy and see that 'automatically detect settings' is turned off,  when I select turn on I am unable to save the setting and once I close the settings page and recheck the setting has reset to off?

I have tried many different options I have found on web to try and clear this like going to internet options selecting connections and LAN settings & find that I am still unable to save the option to 'Automatically detect proxy settings'?

I am using a direct Ethernet connection and have tried reseting my router and resetting my Ethernet adapter this usually resolves problem but only until the next time I log on to PC

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Paul

Hello Paully62,

If you restarted your PC, without resetting the router or the network settings, does it work temporary?

Your problem description matches the Microsoft bug in a big way,, which a they will be fixing in early April.

    Hello Paully62, my name is Farah and I'm an Independent Adviser. I can help you regarding this problem

    Do you use a direct internet connection or a proxy?

    There is a known issue now in regards of Internet connection when you use a vpn or proxy.

    Microsoft is working on a solution which should comes via the normal windows update channel.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/releas...

    In suggest checking for updates regularly now now.

    Cheers!

    Farah
