    How to boot into Safe Mode from Pwered OFF state


    I have just upgraded my PC from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 v1903, build 18362.295 and getting into safe mode is different. I know how to boot into safe mode from Windows 10, i.e. the powered ON state, but how do I get my PC to boot into safe mode from the powered OFF state?
    In Windows 8.1 I used to be able to press F10 (a few times) after switching ON to get me into 'Windows Boot Manager' and then 'Advanced Boot Options' where I could select 'Safe Mode'.
    In Windows 10 I have tried the same method without success. I have also tried the (traditional) F8 key but this did not work either. How do I get access to the 'Windows Boot Manager' or 'Advanced Boot Options' from the powered OFF state where I can select 'Safe Mode'?

    :)

    How does one boot to Safe Mode in Win10?

    You are kidding ... right?

    Instead of simply hitting F8 upon boot to enter the option to select SAFE MODE, in the tutorial you list there are 7 steps to get into SAFE mode.

    So... as I stated....Why does Microsoft continue to make things more difficult?

  3. Can't boot into Normal/Safe Mode with Networking, only safe mode...


    Good Evening,
    I could do with some pointers on resolving an issue. I can only boot into windows in safe mode in Windows 10. Normal mode and safe mode with networking doesn't work. The problem occurred after a windows update. I have removed the latest updates that were installed and cleared any pending ones but it still won't boot properly. I have also run the troubleshooter and tried to recovery to an earlier date which also doesn't work.
    The laptop is a HP ENVY 17 notebook. At boot it just gets to the HP logo with the circular loading icon and no further and can only boot it into safe mode. Can anyone recommend the next steps? I have also tried the following;

    • stopping startup items
    • uninstalling hardware drivers
    • removing recent software
    • running troubleshooters at boot
    • sfc scan
    • diagnostic/selective startups with minimal services running
    Would the fact that I cant boot into Safe Mode with Networking imply its a network driver related issue?
    Bit of a dead end really, any help would be much appreciated
    Kind regards
    Trevor

    Boot into Safe Mode on Windows 10  


    I am stuck in Safe Mode in spite of following all the suggested steps to go back to Normal Startup - Like opening file location of msconfig.exe & running as Administrator. The computer I am trying to get out of safe mode has just been updated from Windows 7.
