How to disable proxy setup script on Windows 10 using a script?

In Edge, settings> system > Open your computer's proxy settings

I have this

I need to untoggle the "Use setup script", using a script, since there is some background process I can't control that keeps toggling this back on.

I want a script that runs every 5 sec and toggles this off.

Here is what I have based on many searches, and that doesn't work:

basic, doesn't do anything

@ECHO OFF
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

also doesn't do anything

Adding

Shell.run "ms-settings:network-proxy"
WScript.Sleep 1000
Shell.Run "taskkill /f /im SystemSettings.exe", , True

also doesn't do anything.

I need to toggle-off the above setting.

How can this be done?

A batch command to remove the proxy is:

netsh winhttp reset proxy

This command needs to be run as Administrator.

Reference:Configure device proxy and Internet connectivity settings.

As the above didn't help the poster, I traced the Settings app and found that this setting is found under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings.

The value name is AutoConfigURL. Setting it to empty has undone the setting of "Use setup script" in the Settings app.

Using a batch command that is run as Administrator:

REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v AutoConfigURL /t REG_SZ /f

This worked for me in a batch file. I'm using Windows 10:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v AutoConfigURL /t REG_SZ /d "" /f
