Hey everyone,
I've been having issues with my PC's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The RZ616 Wi-Fi 6E 160MHz just wasn't working properly. I tried updating the drivers using a USB drive, but I still couldn't connect to the internet. In the end, I decided to perform a clean install of Windows 11 from a USB, hoping it would fix the driver problems. The installation went through, but now Windows 11 appears to be stuck in Safe Mode, even though I've double-checked the settings and Safe Mode isn't activated. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Make sure to install your graphics card drivers, as they can affect how Windows operates. Also, you'll want to get your Wi-Fi working first. Can you tell me what specific PC or motherboard you have, along with where you're downloading the Wi-Fi drivers from?
First, you need to ensure your Wi-Fi is up and running. If your laptop doesn’t have a wired connection available, consider getting a USB or USB-C to Ethernet adapter. That way, you'll have internet access to install all necessary drivers and updates.
That sounds like a solid plan! My next step is to grab a long enough Ethernet cable, as USB tethering from my phone didn’t work out.
I’ve got a Skytech Azure 3 with an i7-14700F and an AsRock 760M-C. I'm downloading the drivers directly from the manufacturer's website. The lack of Wi-Fi was actually what led me to reinstall Windows in the first place.
