Press Windows + R, type inetcpl.cpl command and ok to open internet properties, here click the Connection tab and click the Lan Settings button. If you do not use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, then the following two checkboxes must be unchecked.

• Use automatic configuration script;
• Use a proxy server for your LAN.

Uncheck them all except Automatically detect settings options. Save the changes.

If this did not help, then try also to check off Automatic parameter definition too.

In Windows 10, the proxy server settings can also be set in Settings -> Network & Internet -> Proxy. Check that everything is disabled there, except Automatically detect settings. As in the screenshot below:
