Why is the Proxy section not visible in my Network & Internet menu?

Question

Why is the Proxy section not visible in my Network & Internet menu?

Domenico Serra 10

Hi all,

my laptop does not have proxy settings in the Network & Internet Settings tab. When I use search to find the proxy settings, I can't enter them. I've tried resetting the network, flushing dns, disabling and re-enabling the proxy from regedit but nothing has changed. Any suggestions?

Hi.

Does the Proxy section not visible under Network & Internet only recently? Were the proxy settings shown before?

If it was displayed before, has your computer had any recent updates?

Best Regards,

Hania Lian

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to IE Proxy settings.

Please stop if WinHttpAutoProxySvc service is running
Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot

Scroll down

Click Network adapters

Click Run the Troubleshooter

Open Microsoft Edge.

Go to Settings on Microsoft Edge.

Click on View advanced settings.

Disable any Antivirus program or Windows firewall you may have for temporary purpose.

Hi,

i don't have WinHttpAutoProxySvc running.

The troubleshooter sees no problems.

I'm able to configure proxy in browser but i need to configure it in laptop, the problem is that in windows 11 I don't see the proxy section under Network & Internet settings.
