Looking at your script reveal that you have to wait active windows before using SEND.

I see a lot of WinWait which should have a WinWaitActive same with WinActivate.

Please reread the doc about those functions.

Have you tryed just sending enter? That usually applies the options and clicks OK.

Or you could do something like this:

$Internet="Internet Properties"
$LAN="Local Area Network (LAN) Settings"

Run("RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL inetcpl.cpl,,4")
WinWaitActive($Internet)
ControlClick($Internet, "", "Button13")
WinWaitActive($LAN)
ControlClick($LAN, "", "Button8" )
ControlClick($LAN, "", "Button12")
WinWaitActive($Internet)
ControlClick($Internet, "", "Button14")

Here is the working script. In my examples above, I biff'd the [OK] Control ID.

It is essential to wait until $LAN closes, or $Internet will not respond to OK.

; Internet Options _DO_ respond to ControlClick
$Internet="Internet Properties"
$LAN="Local Area Network (LAN) Settings"
Run('rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL inetcpl.cpl,,4') 

 WinWaitActive($Internet)
  ControlClick($Internet, "", 1580)  ;; Lan Settings
 
 WinWaitActive($LAN)  
ControlCommand($LAN,"",1570,"Check") ;; Use Proxy 
  ControlClick($LAN,"",1)            ;; OK
  WinWaitClose($LAN)  
 
  ControlClick($Internet, "", 1)     ;; OK

Thanks for all the help.

We're probably using different versions of Windows, which would explain the differences in buttons. Glad I could be of help though.
