Windows can use automatic detection, a setup script, or manual proxy details. If you see a proxy-detection warning, check which method is configured and ask the organisation that provided any script or server details before changing them.
Open Settings, choose Network & internet, then select Proxy.
2
Read the automatic section
Under Automatic proxy setup, see whether Automatically detect settings is enabled.
3
Check for a setup script
If Use setup script is enabled, record the script address rather than replacing or deleting it.
4
Check manual proxy details
Under Manual proxy setup, see whether a server name, IP address, or port is configured.
5
Identify the source
If the proxy values came from work, school, a VPN provider, or an administrator, ask that source for the correct configuration before changing anything.
6
Apply only supplied changes
Enter or change settings only when you have the exact values from the organisation or provider that requires them.
7
Retry the connection
After an approved change, retry the network connection and record the exact Windows message if the warning remains.
