Running Diagnostics but it starts Internet Recovery instead??

I pressed D on startup to run Apple Diagnostics on my 2017 MacBook Air, and now it’s been stuck on “Starting Internet Recovery” for 4 hours with no end in sight. What is going on here? Is this many hours normal? And why didn’t D begin Diagnostic testing?? Help please!

That's weird. Internet recovery is normal cmd+R and not D.


You might want to reset the SMC and the NVRAM when the MacBook is ready with trying to start over internet recovery
