How to force proxy connection settings for Windows 11 machines with GPO Management?

Question

Attempting to setup a GPO that forces the computer and all end users of a particular OU and security group to automatically be connected to a proxy server. No matter what I do, I cannot get it to work properly on Windows 11 machines and was wondering how this can be done?

Hello,

Have you also tried to turn off this setting in User configuration to check

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer

Double-click on the Prevent changing proxy settings policy in the right pane. Select "Enable" option.

You can also set the setting prevent proxy settings in the computer configuration/user configuration-Windows settings-Administrative templates-Windows components-Internet Explorer-prevent changing proxy settings on the Win 11 domain client, open local group policy editor (open gpedit.msc and click Enter) navigate to Windows settings-Administrative templates-Windows components-Internet Explorer-prevent changing proxy settings to check if the group policy works fine.

Best Regards,
