Windows 10 is a system developed to scale the needs of its diverse and varied users, but, although new updates are released every day to improve these aspects, we are not exempt from some errors that can affect the level of optimal and adequate use of the system in general and one of these is a critical point are associated to aspects of the network since one failure there is synonymous with serious errors since without a network we would have practically an empty system..
Now, at the network level, we have countless options to implement and one of them is to use proxies in Windows 10 and remember that a proxy is basically an intermediate device which is used in the communication of two other computers in the network Thus, there will never be a direct connection between the first and last equipment which in many cases is synonymous with privacy and security .
Now, in Windows 10 we can find certain errors before:
Windows 10 cannot detect proxy settings
This error is an indication that some value in the Roxy configuration is wrong and should be edited.
Windows could not automatically detect the proxy server
This proxy-level error refers to some type of error in the network configuration.
Windows will not save proxy settings
This error refers to a problem generated when trying to save the configuration created at the proxy level.
Windows proxy settings keep changing
With this error the proxy settings keep changing constantly and the proxy setting is not allowed.
Windows 10 proxy settings are not saved, change
This error prevents users or administrators from being able to edit and save the proxy settings.
Now, TechnoWikis will give a series of tips on how to solve these errors in a practical way..
