If your computer continues to display the same loading screen, unplugging all USB devices may help. You may need to restart the machine on other occasions. **\** **From the Windows Recovery Menu, select Safe Mode.**\

1. **Choose [Troubleshoot](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50582/how-to-troubleshoot-iphone-8-wifi-connection-troubles)**, then Advanced Options, and finally Startup Settings from the Choose an option recovery window.
2. You can **reset the machine into Safe mode f**rom Startup Settings, with or without internet access.
