How can i run the setupwizard on Android 7 without factory reset

[Android Central Question]

Hello I had a Lenovo k6 note that came on default with an Android 6 and at some point I got the setup wizard bug which the phone would disable these stuff that are disabled when the setup wizard is running
1- notification bar won't get pulled+ no notifications are showing
2- recent and home buttons don't work
3- developer options won't appear after tapping the build number 7 times
4- can't switch to guest user
5- can't access my clipboard on Gboard
And many other stuff that are disabled when setup wizard is running when a phone is being setup
There was a solution with the Nova launcher where I can open the setupwizard through widgets

The solution worked perfectly

However a few months later I updated my phone to android 7

And while I was playing my phone overheated and rebooted itself

And then when it opened
The bug happened again

But with Android 7
The Nova launcher solution won't work
And I can't open the setupwizard through adb because I can't access the developer options

Any solutions?

Welcome to Android Central! Does it still happen in Safe Mode? https://www.hardreset.info/devices/lenovo/lenovo-k6-note/safe-mode/

Side note -- that's a 5 year old phone running an outdated Android version. I would strongly recommend upgrading to a more recent phone running a more current Android version for security's sake.

I had a similar problem with an old Motorola phone and yes it happens in safe mode too

My guess is corrupt firmware or failing hardware. I would say the same thing as before -- if it's a really old device, best not to continue using it as one of your regular devices for security reasons.

Recovery and factory reset would be best options with things like this happen
