Hello, in my Windows 10 laptop I'm having difficulty connecting to the internet in safe mode with networking. I can't click the troubleshooting button, because my laptop doesn't allow it in safe mode. Is there a way to solve this issue without having to resort to do a repair install or do I contact my ISP?
Resetting Windows has already been done.
