I have a new laptop running windows 8, the proxy settings get enabled randomly and I can't use Internet explorer at that point. I have to manually turn off the proxy each time. I've gone through Internet options -> connections -> LAN settings -> advanced -> ( I delete everything in the boxes), I then get a popup saying "do you want to turn off the proxy connection", I select yes.
After restarting the computer it's fine for a day or two and all those delete settings reappear in the proxy server box. How can I turn them off?
