Windows 10: need to repair/restore Win10 in safe mode

My laptop will only boot to safe mode - and I've been able to start it with Network capibility. It doesn't have a CD but I downloaded a copy of Windows to a Thumb Drive.


Logging into the Bios F12 Boot Options and F2 - Ive not been able to find out how to change the boot sequence to have it start of the Thumb Drive.


And it won't run the repair/replace function while windows is running in safe mode....


Hardware:

Dell Inspirion i7

8 Gig Ram

1TB Crucial SSD

Win10 Pro


Any ideas would be great!!!

Unable to Start in Safe Mode Win10

I understand that as repeating the basic problem. Is that what you mean? I can't tell you why- some sort of corruption- hence all the steps I'm suggesting. Please try each in turn.

The first are to check for basic forms of corruption and so proceed onwards in order.

 

Safe mode problem

Hi,

To get better clarity on the issue, kindly answer the questions below:

• By saying that you have a "Safe mode problem," did you mean to say that your computer is stuck in Safe mode or are you unable to boot it to Safe mode?
• What troubleshooting steps have you attempted to resolve your concern?

If this is caused by recent programs installed on your computer, then we suggest you to run
System Restore to revert your system files to an earlier date. To run System Restore, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R on your keyboard.
• On the run command box, type "RSTRUI.EXE" and hit enter.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.

Make sure that you choose the restore point date when your computer was working fine. Please be advised that programs and applications installed on your computer after the restore point will be removed.

Let us know how it goes.
