Title: *Struggling with Proxy Settings – How to Disable Proxy?*
Hey everyone,
I’m kinda stuck here. My internet’s acting weird, and I think it’s cuz of a proxy setting that’s turned on. I need to figure out *how to disable proxy* on my laptop (Windows 10), but I’m not sure where to start.
I checked the Internet Options, but it’s all confusing. Like, is it under LAN settings or somewhere else? And every guide I find is either too technical or outdated.
If anyone’s dealt with this before, pls help! A step-by-step would be awesome, or even just pointing me in the right direction.
Also, does disabling proxy mess with anything else? Just wanna make sure I don’t break something lol.
Thanks in advance!

Hey! I had the same issue last week. To disable proxy on Windows 10, go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.
Under "Manual proxy setup," just toggle off "Use a proxy server." That’s it!
No, it won’t break anything unless your work/school requires a proxy. If stuff gets weird after, just toggle it back on.
Hope this helps!
Ugh, proxies are the worst. Here’s how to disable proxy settings real quick:
1. Press Win + R, type "inetcpl.cpl" (no quotes), hit Enter.
2. Go to the "Connections" tab > LAN settings.
3. Uncheck "Use a proxy server..." and hit OK.
Boom, done. If you’re still having issues, try resetting your network settings too.
Yo, disabling proxy is easy peasy. Just open Chrome (or whatever browser), go to Settings > System > Open proxy settings.
From there, turn off the proxy slider.
Also, if you’re using a VPN, sometimes that messes with proxy settings too. Might wanna check that.
If you’re still stuck, try this:
- Open Control Panel > Internet Options.
- Click the "Connections" tab > LAN settings.
- Make sure "Automatically detect settings" is checked and "Use a proxy..." is UNchecked.
Sometimes Windows gets weird with manual proxies. This usually fixes it.
Proxies can be a pain, but here’s a foolproof way to disable proxy on Win 10:
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.
Under "Manual proxy," make sure everything’s off. If it’s grayed out, your admin might’ve locked it. In that case, you’ll need admin rights.
Also, run "ipconfig /flushdns" in CMD just in case.
Hey! Had this issue too. To disable proxy, try this:
1. Open CMD as admin.
2. Type "netsh winhttp reset proxy" and hit Enter.
3. Restart your PC.
This resets any system-wide proxy settings. Works like a charm!
If you’re dealing with a stubborn proxy, check your browser AND system settings. Sometimes they conflict.
For Chrome:
Settings > Advanced > System > Open proxy settings.
For Windows:
Settings > Network > Proxy.
Turn off both. If it’s still weird, malware might be forcing a proxy. Run a scan with Malwarebytes.
Quick tip: If the proxy won’t disable, it might be set by a script or group policy.
Try this:
- Press Win + R, type "gpedit.msc" (if you have Pro/Enterprise).
- Navigate to Computer Config > Admin Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer.
- Look for "Proxy settings" and disable anything enforced.
Otherwise, might be a registry tweak (but be careful with that).
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!
