Today, we’ll discuss how to enable or configure Proxy Server for Metro applications in Windows 8. By default we can setup Proxy for Internet Explorer, but for some reason it’s not working correctly for Metro application. When I tried it initially, I received the following error: Your PC isn’t connected to the Internet. To use the Store, connect to the Internet and then try again.
After searching online for a while I found some working methods. One is to use the Netsh command and import proxy settings from Internet Explorer to WinHTTP and the other is tomanually configure the Proxy settings the same way as in Windows 7, in the registry or viaGroup Policy settings. You can try any of the 3 methods.
