Restarting your computer and router is the first step you should take if you encounter the error “Windows could not identify the proxy settings of this network”. This will close all active applications and reset proxy settings to default settings. For the majority of users, this should solve the problem.

If that doesn’t work, you alicehopper.review/the-most-trends-of-prada-shoes-of-2020 can also try disabling any antivirus software, firewall, or VPN software that might be interfering with your Internet connection. You can disable each program through the settings and removing it one at atime. After you have disabled all of these apps you can try reconnecting to the Internet and see if it persists.

If you can’t solve the issue with any of these solutions, you may want to consider a full system restore in Windows. This will restore the default settings for your network and will also eliminate any other changes that might be making the issue. This can be accomplished by clicking “Internet Options” in the Control Panel. Uncheck the boxes marked Use a proxy for your LAN and Automatically detect settings. Remember that this will only affect your current user account, therefore if you’re using a shared computer, you may require repeating this process for all other users. You can also disable proxy settings via the Registry Editor, but this is a bit more complicated and could create problems in the future.
