    Safe mode problems

    1st of all sorry for late reply, was busy with work and was not able to read here, uhmm

    @Dippsy - It's already disabled, when I get to the point where I log on to my computer under safe mode, it then reboots.

    @Darknova - I meant to the place where I log on to the computer at safe mode, and then it reboots...

    It reboots after or before I could even type my user password.

    BUT NORMAL BOOT WORKS, NOT SAFE MODE *Frown Booted my windows 10 laptop in safe mode & password doesn't work in safe mode :(

  3. Password not working in safe mode, windows 10

    Hi Kevin,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things:

    • What happens exactly when you enter the password?
    • Are you getting any error message?
    • How have you booted your computer into safe mode?
    • Are you using local or Microsoft account to login?

    I suggest you to force restart your computer and check whether you can get back your computer to normal mode.

    You may follow the steps from the below article to place the computer in safe mode and check if it helps.

  4. Booted my windows 10 laptop in safe mode & password doesn't work in safe mode

    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
