Description

Hi!
Running socks-proxy on localhost and trying to route browsers traffic through it.
Under Ubuntu works fine with Firefox proxy settings and with Ubuntu system-wide proxy settings in Google Chrome.
But under Windows 10 I can't make Google Chrome work via socks with system proxy settings :(
Firefox still works fine under Win.

When using Chrome's addon for manual proxy settings, it works just fine too like Firefox. But what's wrong with Win 10 system-wide proxy settings???

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the Windows 10 Chrome system-proxy path and compare it with the working Firefox and manual proxy-addon configurations; done means identifying the incompatibility and documenting or fixing a path that routes Chrome traffic through the local SOCKS proxy.
