LMS does not expect network setup to change when it is running. So if
you start a VPN while LMS is running , or stop a VPN which was running
when LMS was started - it will cause problems.  I'd advise stopping LMS
when playing around with the VPN.  Also BBC has VPN detectors so you may
get strange problems when using BBCiPlayer due toi BBC (who use CDNS
such as akamai).   

Which control panel LMS Control Panel or Windows Conrl PAnel - I don;t
use Windows LMS that often but I can;t see a setting for Proxy in the
LMS Control Panel Windows 

AFAIK Settings in a Windows control panel will not get "inserted" into
LMS setting - except for items such as IP address which are really just
a copy taken at LMS startup.  Proxy acting at Windows level should be
invisible to LMS - if not then it is a bad proxy.

Uninstalling and reinstalling s/w will do nothing.  The plugin code
saves nothing ansd reloads everything each time BBCiPlayer menu is
entered. LMS gets details at startup.   Your probelm may be related to
caches.  There are LMS caches and can be cleared using the LMS Control
Panel Adfbaced Tab - Cleanup section.   Stop LMS and Clear the cache
rather than uninstall.

Some Windows setups used to have very aggressive caching which could
keep "bad" information for days - serving it up days after a problem has
gone away. Not sure about Win10. Try clearing the Windows DNS cache from
command prompt "ipconfig /flushdns" as it might be holding bad data.
