You can remove those messages totally if you disable that notification totally via "Customize notification icons". Usually that message goes away as soon as you connect to the internet for the first time. You will see this behaviour almost everytime, when an external firewall is between the PC and the internet and this firewall enforces a very restrictive firewall policy such that the ports used for checking connectivity are blocked or need user authentication for being allowed, etc..

This is a result of the Network Connectivity Status Indicator sending unauthenticated requests to the proxy, you can fix it by running the following command: netsh winhttp set proxy <proxyname/IP>:<port> So if you're proxy is named "myproxy" and has an IP address of 10.10.10.1, and expects requests on port 8080, you could do either of the following: netsh winhttp set proxy myproxy:8080 netsh winhttp set proxy 10.10.10.1:8080
