Hello, I have encountered a brief internet drop during the event "The WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service service entered the stopped state." more than once.
Tonite at about 9:53pm pacific, I have encountered this: I notice my currently playing Netflix show stopped, and one online game has a brief lag where I am unable to interact with anything. This lag and show stopper seems unusual, and reminds me of a previous time in the last two weeks about 5am, the show I was watching stopped, the one game lagged in the same way, and another online games I had running had completely disconnected from the internet. Both the 9:53p and the 5am had the same event at those exact times.
Event: "The WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service service entered the stopped state."
The first time, I spoke with friends who suggested I check the event log. After that, I did a quick google search and found a thread from 2012 with my exact same issue.
WinHTTP Web Proxy & Internet Dropout
Since this is the second time it has happened to me in less than a month (and I do not want it to happen again, because of the damage that can happen if I am disconnected from my games, raid night in WoW, raising a dino baby in Ark, etc) I come posting here for help.
I am not a programmer. Does anyone know what can be done so I can keep playing my games and videos uninterrupted?
Edit to add:
My reaction to the first event (5am one), I done a modem reset thinking that might remedy my issue, and also contacted my ISP but they saw no connection issues. I 'had' two computers connected to this router/modem last time... But one of my suspicions is that something with the May2019 update to my Win10 PC may have caused my Win7 PC to disconnect, so I had removed that Win10 PC from the network, but tonite's disconnect to my Win7 PC shows me that disconnecting that Win10 PC didnt resolve the disconnect issue.
