Set Proxy on Windows 8/8.1

Have you ever tried to update your windows 8/8.1 operating system using your proxy enabled WiFi network connection? If you tried you must be failed!!!

Then you may ask what's the reason on this???Yes, there is a important reason on this.That is, Windows doesn't allow you to use your WiFi network or any other proxy enabled network on windows without entering the proxy address and port you are using.
You may be able to use your network by other third party software by setting proxy on them but not by your default windows programs.
So, how do you set proxy on my windows??? For this you open you command prompt as administrator
and then write the code below on command prompt and then press enter:

netsh winhttp set proxy source proxy_address:proxy_port

Replace the proxy_address and proxy_port by your original proxy_address and port.















Yes. That's all. Now you can use your network connection by default windows programs.

Again You may import your proxy address and port from network and sharing center if you already set your proxy address and port there.
To do this you will have to run the code below by command prompt. Don't forget to open command prompt as administrator.

netsh winhttp import proxy source =ie











Be sure you set up the proxy address and port on network and sharing center.





























That's all. Now you are able to use your proxy enabled network by windows default programs.

to reset your proxy settings connect to a network and then run the code given below:

netsh winhttp import proxy source =ie

your proxy will be reseted with your active network connection.
Thanks.
