Windows 10: Preventing Access to Safe Mode

Problem: K9 Web Protection software is disabled when loading in Safe Mode, allowing unfettered access to the internet in Safe Mode.


Tried: Installing K9 both normally, and in Safe Mode (appeared that future loading in Safe Mode removed the k9 installation). Manually added K9 to registry, but was able to delete Registry entries.


I would either like to prevent access to Safe Mode (multiple user accounts would be ok to achieve this), or understand if a different accountability/filter software could be loaded and functional in Safe Mode (was thinking about switching to something like Accountable2You or CovenantEyes).


Alternatively, I was wondering if a multi-app kiosk might serve as a solution, but seems like a lot more layers than may be necessary.

Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?
