If this is a work computer then the domain or vpn suggestions above would be your issue.

If it is just a personal computer and has not had this issue before then you have viruses, run malwarebytes.

If your computer is part of a domain, the domain policy will override whatever settings you change. Some domains will allow certain things to be changed, including the proxy settings, but it sounds like a policy is preventing you from changing this setting.

Is this a work computer?
 
Some times this is a side effect of some vpn services that do not uninstall correctly. It can also be malware that modified in the registry. There are a number of posts on the microsoft site on how to correct this since you generally have to manually edit registry entries and it varies a bit depending on the OS version. I would search there for examples.
