Had this exact problem! To disable proxy, go to:
Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings.
Uncheck the proxy box and hit OK.
If it’s grayed out, try running this in CMD (admin):
"reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f"
Works every time!

Hey guys,
Wow, didn’t expect so many replies—thanks a ton! I tried the Settings > Network > Proxy method first, and it worked! No more weird internet lag.
But now I’m curious: why would a proxy even get turned on randomly? Like, I didn’t set it up. Could it be malware? I ran a quick scan with Windows Defender, and it came back clean. Should I dig deeper?
Also, big shoutout to the CMD tips—saved those for future ref. You all rock!
