- Tableau Desktop 2022.1.1

Resolution
Verify if the proxy is configured on the PC by running the command "netsh winhttp show proxy" from Command Prompt.If there is no proxy configuration, it looks like this.
If there are proxy address configured, it looks like this.
Consult the IT administrator/team to check if the proxy setting is required on the pc.
You can reset the proxy setting with the command "netsh winhttp reset proxy" if it's not needed.
Cause
The proxy server setting (http_proxy environmental) added by WinHTTP is remaining on the PC and recognized by Tableau Desktop.Thank you for providing your feedback on the effectiveness of the article.
