Windows 10: Need help accessing safe mode or BSOD workaround

I build my own desktop. I just recently updated to windows 11 22h2 and upon startup I got a BSOD. The error most likely was caused by an out of date driver. I can’t boot into windows at all because the BSOD pops up immediately on startup. I tried to reboot the computer 3 times using the power button and I continued to get brought to an American Megatrends screen. From there I could only access bios which didn’t bring much help. My mother board is a Rog Strix b550-f gaming wifi if that helps. Thanks!

Cannot access Safe Mode in BSOD

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Community. We understand your concern and we will try our best to help you resove the issue.

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

1. Can you provide the exact error message that is displayed in the BSOD?

2. Did you make any changes to your computer that led to the BSOD?

For now, if you wish to access Safe Mode in an non accessible situation, I would suggest that you follow the steps below:

• Download the Windows 10 ISO and create a Media Creation tool and then perform Startup Repair.

Refer to the following link:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

(Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool
" in the above article for creating the tool).

• Once you have the installation media, follow the steps:
  

1. Start your computer from the installation media. Insert the disk or USB stick and restart your computer. If you see a message asking you to “Press any key to boot from DVD,”
do so. If you don’t see the message, you might need to change the boot order in your computer's BIOS settings so that it first starts from the disk or USB. When you see the 'Install Windows' page, tap or click 'Repair your computer' link to start the Windows
Recovery Environment.

2. In the Windows Recovery Environment, on the Choose an option screen, click
'Troubleshoot'.

3.Click,
Advanced Options and then click on 'Startup Settings'.

4.You will have to Restart the computer, once it restarts then you will have the option to log into
Safe Mode.

Hope this information helps.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

Have you tried all the above steps suggested by Sangeeta Sarkar on September 13, 2015.

I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better.

• Are you trying to login the Microsoft account or the Local account in safe mode?
• Did you try with only safe mode or safe mode with networking?
• What is the critical error you are getting?

If you are using Windows 10. To go to safe mode you have to follow the below steps.

If you are able to go to login screen in normal mode try the below steps to go to safe mode with networking.

• 
  At the login screen click on the power symbol.
  
• 
  Hold SHIFT + Click Restart.
  
• 
  After restarting your system, select the Troubleshoot option.
  
• 
  Select advanced options under
  Troubleshoot screen.
  
• 
  Click on Startup Settings.

  Click Restart and follow the onscreen steps to go to
  Safe Mode with networking and check if you are able to login.

Cannot Enter Safe Mode / Computer boots normally

I'm running Win 10 Pro 1903.

Here are the steps I have taken to get into safe mode: Start button, settings, update and security, recovery, advanced startup, troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, restart. The computer boots normally, not in safe mode. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for your help and interest. .
