"Proxy server connection failed" in google chrome

Question

My Google Chrome has stopped working & I don’t know why. proxy server part is unchecked & Automatically detect settings part of LAN setting is checked.
But when I want to load any site on it this message appear:

Proxy server connection failed.

I searched but no result! Is there any way to solve this problem?

I'm using windows 8.
I uninstalled chrome and Install a newer version, but the same error exists & doesn't allow me to use chrome.
my connection to Internet is OK & I can ping www.google.com, or use other browsers.

Answer 1

Internet explorer has a reset to factory button and luckily so does chrome! try the link below and let us know. the other option is to stop chrome and delete the c:\users\%username%\appdata\local\google folder entirely then reinstall chrome but this will loose all you local settings and data.

Google doc on how to factory reset: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214?hl=en

I had the same problem with a freshly installed copy of Chrome. If nothing works, and your Use a proxy server your LAN setting is unchecked, check it and then uncheck it . Believe it or not it might work. I don't know if I should consider it a bug or not.
