どのように (dono yō ni) focuses on the manner or process used to carry out an action.

どうdō: Asks which way an action is carried out in familiar speech.

物事を行う方法やあり方をたずねる意を表す語。mono goto o okona u hō hō ya a ri kata o ta zu ne ru i o arawa su go

どのように (dono yō ni) is formed from どの (dono, "which"), よう (yō, "way"), and に (ni, "in"), creating the question "in which way."

The word どのように (dono yō ni) can ask about a process rather than a time, place, person, or reason, so it commonly means "how" before an action verb.
