How to enable WINS Proxy and IP Routing in Windows 10

Question

Neither WINS Proxy or IP Routing are enabled in Windows 10 on my laptop, which I found out by opening a black screen using "cmd" prompt in the "run" box and typing in "ipconfig /all". Here I could see that both the WINS Proxy and IP Routing are not enabled on my laptop. Looking for a solution with the help of a google search I was led to the Registry Editor. To enable the IP Routing I found the following thread: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ Netbt\Parameters, where I found IPEnableRouter and proceeded to modify it by giving it a value of "1". 

To enable the WINS Proxy I went to the same Registry thread, hoping to follow this instruction: "Right-click the "EnableProxy" key and select "Modify." In the popup box, enter "1" and click the "Ok" button." However, there is no "EnableProxy" key listed under Parameters on the right side of the Editor so now I'm confused. 

If any of this makes any sense to anyone, I would greatly appreciate help on how to enable the WINS Proxy. Without it I am having some trouble getting some things to work. Thank you!
