Really frustrating issue: i'm trying to install and run Android Studio on Windows 11, but every time I open it I get a message that some broken proxy setting is preventing the Android SDK from being downloaded. I'm not using a proxy at all as far as I know.

I've read lots of posts explaining that it's a Windows Firewall issue, but nothing I've tried has worked. What I've tried so far:

• Reinstalled Android Studio
• Added Android Studio inbound & outbound exceptions to Windows Firewall
• Disabled Windows Firewall entirely
• Tried installing on different users on same Machine (same error)
• Installed Electric Eel Beta version of Android Studio (instead of stable channel's Dolphin, same error)
• Flushed DNS cache on my PC
• Closing the first run wizard and trying to manually download the SDK from SDK Manager in Android Studio (always "Unavailable")

Nothing has worked. I see this user

CodePudding user response：

After trying all kinds of network resets, connecting to alternative networks, etc., I was able to fix the issue by resetting Windows to factory settings.

After that, I downloaded and installed Android Studio and it was able to automatically downloaded the SDK during the first-run with no issues.
