WiFiManager: Connect to known SSID after a power failure? dont start a new access point.

Basic Infos

Hardware

WiFimanager Branch/Release: Master

Esp8266/Esp32:

Hardware: D1 mini

Description

Im trying to reconnect to my known SSID that was successful but i cannot reconnect to it after a power outage. All the device does is boot up another AP which i dont want. I have tried multiple ways to keep restarting the device, wifi begin etc etc but i always starts a new AP on SSID not found boot up.

What i want to achieve: After a power outage for the ESP device to keep retrying the known SSID from the config file. I will handle a reset for AP manually if i wish to but all i want is on boot for the device to keep trying to connect to the known SSID as the routers take a while to boot.
