Fix: Windows Could not Automatically Detect this Network’s Proxy Settings

Sometimes you might see a yellow warning sign on your Wi-Fi name in the system tray. If you right click the Wi-Fi name and select Troubleshoot then you will most likely see the error with a message “Windows could not automatically detect this network’s proxy settings”. Although the yellow warning sign doesn’t always mean that you will get this error but it’s highly likely especially if you can’t use your internet or if your internet is really slow. This error can appear at any time without any prior signs and will most likely prevent you from using the internet.

The error can be caused by a change in proxy settings of your Windows. The change in settings can be caused by an infection or change in system files and network settings or file corruptions that will lead to change in network settings. All of these can be caused by malware or because of some system file issues on your computer which can also prevent an internet connection from being established in Windows.

You should go through the general troubleshooting first to eliminate any possibility. If the general troubleshooting doesn’t solve the problem then move towards the solution methods because those are in detail.

General Troubleshooting

First of all, make sure that you have the correct and latest drivers for your network adapter. Follow the steps below to solve the issue of drivers

2. Type devmgmt.msc or hdwwiz.cpl and press EnterType devmgmt.msc and Press Enter to Open Device Manager
3. Locate and double click Network Adapters
4. Locate your network devices right click it and select uninstall
5. Once uninstalled, close the device manager and restart your computer
6. Windows should automatically install the most suitable driver which should solve the problem if it’s because of driver issues.

You can also use the Windows own Network Adapter Troubleshooter that might fix your problem. This will save you time and effort since it solves the problems on its own.

1. Press Windows key once
2. Type control panel in the Start Search bar and click Control Panel when it appears in the search results

3. Select “Proxy” from the left pane and uncheck the “Usea Proxy Server” option.
4. Check to see if the issue persists.

Method 1: Using Winsock Reset Commands

The very first thing you should do is reset the Winsock with the commands given below. Basically what you will do by following the commands given below is reset the Winsock settings back to the default or clean state. So if any changes were made that were causing the issue the problem should solve with this method.

Method 3: Check for Infections

Sometimes malware or infection might be causing this issue. There is a lot of malware that changes the settings of your internet to either stop your access to the internet or make all your traffic go towards their preferred settings so that it can be watched.

This is an extreme case but not an impossible one. This can be the issue for you especially if you don’t have any Antivirus or the issue started after installing new software.

Follow the steps given below to check whether the issue is because of an infection or not

1. Use an Antivirus to scan your computer thoroughly. You can use any Antivirus but we recommend Malware Bytes. Go here and download the Malware Bytes for your computer and install it.
2. Scan your computer and see if it gets any infections. If Malware Bytes catches some bad files then delete those and then check if the issue is still there or not.

Method 4: System Restore

If the issue is caused by a change in settings because of file corruption or infection then performing a System Restore is also a good option. Performing a System Restore is the best option especially if the problem is new or started after downloading a certain software.

Go here for a complete step by step guide to restoring your system from a System Restore Point. Try to go back to a point when you are sure you didn’t have this problem. Once you are done, check to see if the problem is still there or not.

Method 5: SFC scan

Since your problem can be because of corrupted system files that changed the internet settings, perform the SFC scan is a good option and solves the problem for many users. Basically SFC scan scans your system files and replaces any corrupted ones with the correct ones that are stored in your system.

So if the problem was because of corrupted files, the SFC scan should solve it.

1. Press Windows key once
2. Type cmd in the Start Search box
3. Right-click on the Command Prompt and click Run as administrator…
4. Type SFC /scannow and press Enter
   
   
5. Wait for it to finish. You will see the results

Method 6: Network Reset

In certain cases, some network restrictions or Firewall configurations can prevent the computer from being able to connect to the internet. It is also possible that certain network configurations have been outdated on your computer. Therefore, in this step, we will be performing a network reset. For that:

1. Press “Windows” + “I” to open the settings.
2. In the settings, click on the “Network and Internet” option and then select “Status” from the left pane. Selecting “Network and Internet” Options
3. In here, click on the “Network Reset” option at the end of the list and select the “Reset Now” button. Press Reset Network Button
4. Check to see if the issue persists after the network has been reset.

Method 7: Resetting Network Adapter

It is possible that the network adapter has acquired some incorrect configurations which are preventing it from being able to function properly. Therefore, in this step, we will be resetting the network adapter. In order to do so, follow the guide below.

1. Press “Windows” + “R” to open the Run prompt.
2. Type in “ncpa.cpl” and press “Enter” to open the Network Connections settings. Running Network settings
3. In the Network Connections, right-click on the Network Adapter that you are using and select “Disable”.Disable Network Connection
4. After some time, right-click on it again and click on “Enable”.
5. Wait some time and check to see if the issue still persists.

Once the scan is finished and successful, try to check the internet again and see if the problem is there or not.

Method 8: Using Command Prompt to fix services

There are some services that are responsible for setting up new connections and make sure that all the configurations are working as they should. However, these services can be stopped by a third-party bad tweaking program. To fix this issue, follow these steps:-

1. Search for Command Prompt in the search bar.
2. Right-click on the Command Prompt and run it as an administrator.
3. Type the following commands one by one to enable the essential configuration services:-
4. Now restart your computer and check to see if the issue persists.

Method 9: Setting up Static IP address

Setting up your Static IP can potentially fix this issue as you will manually configure the essential settings that are required to run the network smoothly. Fortunately, we have an article on this topic with a detailed explanation and methods to set up a Static IP address. You can check to follow the steps to reset and change your IP address here.

Method 10: Enable Custom 3D Support

This solution primarily focuses on users who use the MSI Afterburner along with the Riva Statistics Tuning Server to monitor the performance of their hardware. In some cases, this setting needs to be enabled in the Riva Server to get everything working in line with the overlay. For that:

1. Click on the “System Tray” icons and double click on the “Riva Tuner Statistics Server”.
2. It should open up its settings, make sure to turn the “Custom 3D support” to “ON”.Turning Custom 3D Support ON
3. Check to see if the issue persists while opening the steam overlay.

If none of the steps above helped you then there is something wrong with your router or internet connection. We really suggest you give your ISP a call and let them know about the situation you are having. So that they can assist you with the problem as in some cases users reported changing their router fixed the issue for them.

Windows не удалось автоматически обнаружить параметры прокси этой сети — как исправить

Если у вас не работает Интернет, а при диагностике сетей вы получаете сообщение «Windows не удалось автоматически обнаружить параметры прокси этой сети», в этой инструкции простые способы исправить эту проблему (средство устранения неполадок её не устраняет, а лишь пишет «Обнаружено»).

Эта ошибка в Windows 10, 8 и Windows 7 обычно вызвана неверными настройками прокси-сервера (даже если они кажутся правильными), иногда — сбоями со стороны провайдера или наличием вредоносных программ на компьютере. Все варианты решения рассмотрены далее.

Исправление ошибки не удалось обнаружить параметры прокси этой сети

Первый и чаще всего работающий способ исправить ошибку — вручную изменить параметры прокси сервера для Windows и браузеров. Сделать это можно, используя следующие шаги:

1. Зайдите в панель управления (в Windows 10 для этого можно использовать поиск на панели задач).
2. В панели управления (в поле «Просмотр» вверху справа установите «Значки») выберите «Свойства браузера» (или «Параметры браузера» в Windows 7).
3. Откройте вкладку «Подключения» и нажмите кнопку «Настройка сети».
4. Снимите все отметки в окне настройки прокси-серверов. В том числе уберите отметку «Автоматическое определение параметров».
5. Нажмите «Ок» и проверьте, была ли решена проблема (может потребоваться разорвать подключение и снова подключиться к сети).

Примечание: есть дополнительные способы для Windows 10, см. Как отключить прокси-сервер в Windows и браузере.

В большинстве случаев этого простого метода оказывается достаточно для того, чтобы исправить «Windows не удалось автоматически обнаружить параметры прокси этой сети» и вернуть работоспособность Интернета.

Если же нет, то обязательно попробуйте использовать точки восстановления Windows — иногда, установка какого-то ПО или обновления ОС могут вызвать такую ошибку и при откате к точке восстановления ошибка исправляется.

Дополнительные методы исправления

Помимо вышеописанного метода, если он не помог, попробуйте такие варианты:

• Выполните сброс сетевых настроек Windows 10 (если у вас эта версия системы).
• Используйте AdwCleaner для проверки на наличие вредоносных программ и сброса сетевых настроек. Для того, чтобы был выполнен сброс сетевых параметров, перед сканированием установите следующие настройки (см. скриншот).

Также могут помочь следующие две команды для сброса WinSock и протокола IPv4 (следует запускать в командной строке от имени администратора):

Думаю, один из вариантов должен помочь, при условии, что проблема не вызвана какими-то сбоями со стороны вашего Интернет-провайдера.

Еще 100% вариант решения этой проблемы это прописать IP статический
Узнать его можно у провайдера либо если у вас wifi то в роутере ВСЕГДА есть IP, маска и прочее

Спасибо. Помог первый способ. После скачивания торрентом некоторых программ ноутбук перестал запускать браузеры, хотя писал, что интернет соединение установлено. Никаких воскл.знаков. Поснимал галочки, как и написано, и всё заработало. Спасибо.

Спасибо, обновил винду до 20H2 и обнаружилась проблема с браузерами, первое решение помогло
