Research direction

Start by launching Azure Storage Explorer on Windows, opening the proxy settings from the toolbar, and attempting account reauthentication. Compare the reported proxy failure and ECONNRESET details with the stated 1.41.1 build; done means identifying a reproducible application problem and documenting a verified resolution or the conditions under which it occurs.

Bug Description

On open Azure Storage Explorer I get this message:

Unable to establish connection using current proxy settings. Please verify current settings by accessing the proxy dialog in the toolbar.

And then when I try to Reauthenticate my account I get this message:

{
"name": null,
"message": ""{\n \"name\": \"Node Fetch Error\",\n \"message\": \"read ECONNRESET\",\n \"stack\": \"Error: read ECONNRESET\\n at TLSWrap.onStreamRead (node:internal/stream_base_commons:216:20)\",\n \"cause\": {},\n \"code\": \"ECONNRESET\",\n \"errno\": -4077\n}""
}

I have tried changing proxy settings, rebooting modem and router, etc. and nothing helps. I noticed users had similar issues in 2024 and 2023 that were fixed after a new build, do I just need to wait for an update?
