I have been experiencing several bugs on my PC for 2 weeks now, apparently this was due to a corrupted user. I wanted to transfer the files to a new user and I had to go into safe mode to do so. Via msconfig I went into safe mode, I restart my pc and every time after my motherboard screen I see a small circle with dots spinning around, nothing else happens.
I have tried everything but nothing works. I also can't get into the automatic repair screen by shutting down the pc 3 times. I have also pulled the cable out 3 times but this does not work either. Also I have spammed F11, F1, F2 and F8 but this also does not work to get into automatic repair. I have also tried to boot via USB but when I enter the commands in CMD the PC does not recognize it because it boots via USB.
Now I really don't know what I can try to get out of safe mode, does anyone have a solution?

If you are not able to recognise the USB, Then open the USB winre and type cd C:\Windows\
(Replace c: with your windows installation partition)
after that,
