I live in China and I downloaded some apps such as WPS Office and Youku video sharing which I suspect gave me some problems with Edge and may have altered the default proxy setting, but I've now deleted them.

Thanks for providing the details we requested. Since you have deleted the applications you mentioned that may have been the cause of the concern with Microsoft Edge, we would like to confirm if you're no longer experiencing any issues with using Microsoft Edge and the internet connection is working correctly? I am no longer experiencing problems with Edge not responding to mouse clicks, however the proxy server setting seems to be automatically turning on, as I note you say it is normally left in the off position.

Great to hear that you were able to resolve the issue when using Microsoft Edge. That is correct, by default the proxy settings are disabled unless you need it for a VPN or a specific application.

Regarding the option in the proxy settings labeled "Automatically detect settings", the setting for this will depend on the general computer settings if the network requires for a proxy server to be used or not and will automatically change.

Also, if you have applications that have an option to connect using proxy settings then the proxy setting on your computer will follow suit for just that application. You said "if the network requires a proxy server" - could you explain what you mean by "the network"? I have the "Automatically detect settings" turned off, and the "use a proxy server" setting seems to always be on. Great to hear that we were able to provide the answer you needed to your concern.
