How do I turn off a proxy server? Need help disabling it! or How do I turn off a proxy server? Can't

"How do I turn off a proxy server? Steps aren’t working for me."

ugh, this is driving me nuts. i followed like 3 different guides on how do i turn off a proxy server, but it’s still active??

tried the settings > network thing, unchecked the proxy box, even restarted my pc. no luck.

anyone else run into this? am i missing something obvious?

also, why is this so complicated?? just let me disable it ffs.

pls help before i yeet my laptop out the window. thanks.

(using windows 10 btw, if that matters.)
