1. Close all other applications to resolve software conflicts and free up resources.
2. Reset your network devices, which can resolve numerous problems
3. If you're using a wireless connection, optimize your internet connection to rule out a connection issue.
4. Update or temporarily uninstall any security programs, which may mistakenly identify the login module as a security threat.
5. Release and renew your IP and flush your DNS to resolve any network conflicts.
6. Disable any proxies that may interfere with the login module.
7. Update your drivers and operating system to resolve any compatibility issues.
