Restarting your computer and router is the first step you should take if you encounter the error “Windows could not identify the proxy settings for this particular network”. This will close any open applications and reset the proxy settings back to their default setting which should solve the issue for the majority of users.

If this doesn’t work, you can try disabling any firewalls, antivirus software, or VPN software that might interfere with your Internet connection. You can disable each app by navigating to the settings and turning it off one at atime. After you have disabled all of these apps, try reconnecting to the Internet and test if the issue persists.

If you are unable to solve the issue with any of these solutions, you may want to think about doing a complete system restore in Windows. This will restore your default network settings and also remove any changes that could have caused the issue. This can be done by going to the Control Panel and then clicking on “Internet Options.” Once you’re inside the window and you’re there, uncheck the boxes labelled Automatically detect settings and Use the proxy server on your network. Keep in mind that this will only affect your current user account, so if you’re on a shared computer you might need to repeat this process for any other users. You can deactivate proxy settings using the Registry Editor. However this procedure is more complex and could cause future issues.
