My daughter complained about not being to launch the Settings menu from her iPhone11. She has restarted multiple times already. I looked at the obvious like resetting making sure screentime is disabled on her account and tried ways to reset without losing her photos and videos. Everything I tried required access to the Settings menu. I was sure it wasn’t a hardware issue but a software configuration issue. The second part of my troubleshooting involved wiping the phone and restoring from backup in order to rule out the hardware issue theory. To do this, I used iTunes on my Windows computer and connected the iPhone to my computer using usb cable. In order to perform backup, the local storage on your C drive has to have sufficient disk storage to accommodate the total size of photos and videos on the iPhone. This is where most of my problem was. The backups are stored on these paths: \Users\(your username)\Apple\MobileSync\Backup\ or \Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer

However, I found that since the last time I took this exam, my hardware changed (different web cam, different speakers) and I installed more software like Docker that the proctoring software (PSI Secure Browser) didn
