Splashtop reboot safe mode

I'm using ITarian/Comodo for doing remote support (my break-fix business), and currently it does not support rebooting to safe mode at all. Never mind that virtually every remote access software can do this task. I've used many other brands, such as Logmein, Splashtop, Zoho Assist, Teamviewer, etc, etc.

I have a registry mod that changes their service to run in Safe Mode With Networking, but the problem is that Windows 10 Pro will not reconnect to the wireless network in spite of the check box to 'automatically reconnect' being checked.

Is there any way to force Windows 10 Pro to reconnect to the wireless network when booting into Safe Mode With Networking so that ITarian's host can regain internet access and reconnect to the agent on my end?

It's a common issue with W10.

Have you checked the following? Works for some but not all:

Is it only safe mode when it doesn't automatically connect?

I saw those instructions before, and the reconnect box is checked. Yes, the issue is with Safe Mode only. I don't know how other software does this (ie. logmein, splashtop, zoho, solarwinds, etc) - reboot to safe mode and establish the remote connection again. I'm attempting to create a work-around to the lack of 'reboot to safe mode' function those others are able to do.
