Windows 10: How to run browser in safe mode with networking?

How can I run a browser in safe mode with networking? I tried running edge and chrome and nothing happened, after I learned a way to get wi-fi access in this mode.

[FCU] - How to run the "Schedule" service in Safe Mode ?

Hi,

Before the Fall creator update (1709 16299.xx) I was able o run the "Schedule" service in safe mode so my application that require safe mode (DDU) can clear up the tasks there.

Now it is not working anymore the way I used to make it work,

Before I was adding theses key to allow "Schedule" to work:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\PNP_TDI

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\Schedule

Both with a default value of "Service"

Now with the Fall creator update, when I start the "Schedule" service, I get a message telling:
(The "Schedule" service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other service or programs.)

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Is there another service that I must allow to run in safe mode too?

Thanks,

Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Windows settings

You will not be able to open Windows apps while in Safe Mode as per: Boot into Safe Mode on Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials

Edge is a UWP Store app, so it won't open. Don't know about Chrome for I don't use it, but IE will open.

 

Welcome to the TenForums @CoUser

and Chrome will open, I just did it. Just to be sure we are not still dealing with a "Wi-FI" issue could you retry and could you use a cable if you can get access to Router.

Might we ask, how did you get to safe mode. I recommend holding shift key down and clicking restart. They you can use menus to get to safe mode.

When you try your browser are they not starting, starting but not connecting, other?

I didn't try IE and I don't even want to try if it works because I don't use it.

Thanks! I did it that way and I don't understand why I should try connecting a cable since my problem isn't about having internet access but opening the browser. It just won't open.

 

You said you tried Edge. Just giving you info. *Wink

Try disabling extensions, then try it in safe mode.

 

Since I didn’t understand how the browser wasn’t working and you mentioned you needed to do something to make network work I thought it was worth proposing using a cable, especially as I had to do nothing to get Chrome to work in safe mode and I imagine it was the same for HippsieGypsie with IE.

Since Chrome won't execute in Safe mode it has me thinking there is something more fundamentally wrong with the Windows environment. Have you check the event viewer or Reliability history at the time of start to see what is being recorded there.

May I ask why you are trying to run a browser in safe mode, is there another problem you are trying to solve.

 

I tried Edge, but not IE. How can I disable extensions if I can't even run the browser? If I disable them and then restart the PC will they still be disabled?

No, how can I do that and when should I do that? I just want to be able to run it in case I have those nasty virus that won't let me.

 

For testing purposes just to see if it is extensions, boot normally, enter extensions and uncheck each one. Boot to Safe Mode and test.

Ken

 

Yes they will. Perhaps I wasn't clear. Disable in regular mode, then try in safe mode. Settings are kept in the Registry.

 

I tried that and the browser still doesn't open.

I did that but the browser isn't opening.

 

Okay so we have some possible routes to go here.

Did you try IE? I know you don't use but we are trying to determine if this is Windows or Chrome. If IE also doesn't work then there is an issue with Windows ( or a service that is not starting ). In that case I would do an in place repair / upgrade. This will take you to V1703. I would download fresh media creation tool and windows media. I always recommend a data backup off machine.

(It would be a shame to repair windows and find that a cable connection would have solved this, its a three minute test.)

If IE works then the issue is with Chrome and I would recommend starting with a browser reset.

In one of my posts I asked if anything was being recorded in Reliability History or the Event Viewer when you try to start Chrome in Safe Mode. Did you investigate?


Ken

 

I uninstalled it and that would be a rather radical decision. I wouldn't do that just for having the browser to work in safe mode with networking. I tried using a cable like you said but it didn't work.

Sorry, but like I said before, how can I use the Event Viewer or the Reliability History?

 

Press the Windows key > Type Reliability History > When open you may click on any day to view details, then on an event to view more details.
