I am running windows 8.1 and my "Network Proxy Settings" don't seem to be under my control.

  1. "Use a Proxy Server" slider is turned on.
  2. "Address" is set to "http=127.0.0.1:8080;https=127.0.0.1:8080".
  3. "Port" field is empty.

Below is a screenshot :

My Proxy Settings

The problem here is that whenever I try to turn off the proxy settings or try to change any of the underlying fields, it just switches back to the aforementioned settings automatically. I don't understand what's causing this and how to get rid of it. When I try to access proxy settings from my browser, they are greyed out with the message : "Some settings are managed by your system administrator."
