Is privoxy still running when Cortana, windows login, etc. no longer work?

My experience has been that it's fairly difficult to keep Windows 10
from phoning home but regardless.. see
  https://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/contact.html#SUFFICIENT-INFORMATION
specifically the bit after
  please make sure that the logfile directive is being used and the following
  debug options are enabled
then check the privoxy log & see what all is being blocked.

Cortana, edge, ie & i dunno what else are going to use the system
proxy settings, so the output of
  netsh winhttp show proxy
would be nice.  eg
C:\Users\Lee>netsh winhttp show proxy

Current WinHTTP proxy settings:

    Proxy Server(s) :  127.0.0.1:8118
    Bypass List     :  (none)

As would the section after
  The following options were given in the config file:
from http://config.privoxy.org/show-status
