Dell Command Monitor - proxy

In the 10.10.1 users guide for Command Monitor, it states that Command Monitor by default uses the default proxy from IE (Internet Options in Control Panel):

We have a proxy set up in the Internet Options panel, but Command Monitor doesn't pick it up. And when we manually refresh the warranty details, it doesn't work. 

However, when I manually set the proxy settings in Command Monitor, it refreshes fine.

I am wondering if there is a bug with Command Monitor picking up the default proxy settings. 

I will note we've been using the same proxy setting and settings for years with other applications without issue.
