Windows 10: Re-starting in Safe Mode-Won't take Password

Ok ok...you made me smile for the first time in days.

 

So Fleet420, do you have any personal data on this machine, spreadsheets, letters, taxes etc that are not backed up?

 

First I tried to switch users and it simply went back to my password to get back to my account, then I restarted and when the option for both came up, I picked Windows 10...after a long while...my password screen came up. So seems like it is not going to start up.
My add and remove has some lingering AVG I will say what they are because it's not like the program, it's something else....
Visual Studios 2012 x64 Redistributables Both say AVG Technologies
Visual Studios 2012 x86 Redistributables
so that's whats up

OH, on my new password sign in, under the place to sign in it says other options, when I looked, it gave me the option of a keyboard password, or a pin input. go figure
As far as anything I would die if I lost it...no, there is no financial data all my tax stuff is saved on my mail server, mostly music and a lot..and I mean a lot of movies. I get movies. I'm going to get all the good ones on to some large SD cards I have, everything else I can replace.

 

Okay please complete the backups.

This boot disk will boot you into a full functioning Windows and you can copy off everything.

Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk

Not sure how close you live to a computer / office store but you might find a portable hardrive will be cheaper than SD cards.

Western Digital (WD) makes them in crazy sizes like 2TB or 3TB and they are competitively prices. I prefer raw hard drives and a small dock. Far more reliable but a dock and drive will likely be between $80 - $100.

Once you are backed up I would like you to try what I posted earlier about going into safe mode and running the AVG remover.

Talk in the morning.

 

Gotta to go out in the am, but will be back later in afternoon. I will do some looking at HD's. I am on Unemployment right now, so until I get back to work, unless they start handin them out for free, it may be a few weeks.
How big of a USB would I need for the
Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk

It looks like it's 1G will it cause me to loose anything if I use it?

 

It downloads at just around 1.2GB. You can create ISO on blank DVD if you have.

If you put on USB thumb drive you must make it bootable. Think I would use 2G USB thumb drive. I would use blank one or move data to other laptop temporarily.

You said you had a second machine. You could backup all your info on it, I would hope it has the space. Are the machine network either through shares or a Homegroup?

 

. There is a Homegroup thing on here, I tried a while ago to set that up but I gave up. they both run off the same wifi signal. As for the recovery I can do that, but need someone to explain the easiest way.
What can I do to make certain that this, or the other Windows 10 laptop I have don't go to Safe Mode like this again? Someone else uses that laptop and she hits yes to almost anything that asks..so I'm afraid it will happen, she's old. . I know there was a warning, I saw it, but it also said it was not advisable to do it out of Safe Mode.. you'd think they'd say why. Folks that have limited user experience see a message like that and automatically follow it...they, (I), think Windows is saying to do it and so many idiots actually trust MS. ...Me included .*Banghead .....But, not anymore.
Going to start those downloads..
hey I'm lost on that page. There's many downloads and I was reading but that didn't help and I will need some instruction on which file and how to make it bootable.
I barely understood anything of what they were saying on the download page., Is the downloading of just one file all I need or do I need more than that., and do I need to hang onto the bootable usb that I used to start win 10 when I first was locked out. Can I delete it then use that 16GB USB? or should I hang on to it.
