Windows 10: Win 10 - Checking the connection to microsoft loop?!

Hey Reddit,

I have reformatted my partner's 3 year old HP laptop that had Windows 10 pro installed. After reformatting and reinstalling Windows 10 Pro (latest version from Media creation tool), I start the process of preparing the computer. It goes through the steps just fine until it gets to the network connection. It shows the WiFi connections. I choose my WiFi and enter the passcode. The WiFi says that it is successfully connected. I click the NEXT button to continue. A message pops up saying that "Checking the Connection to Microsoft. This might take a while." This takes me back to the WiFi network connection again. This repeats the error cycle. I have reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled several times with the same results.

I have reinstalled Win 10 numerous times on various machines before and never had this issue. Help?
