Safe mode, or not safe mode

Hello,


Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.



I would like to inform you that, that the operation of the function keys are as set by the manufacturer, and it differs depending up on the manufacturer.



You may press and hold on the Shift Key from the Windows sign in screen and click on Restart to boot into Safe mode\Safe Mode with Networking. So that, after you restart you will boot into normal mode.



If you start your computer with Safe mode\Safe Mode with Networking using System Configuration, it will boot into the same mode after you restart.



Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

 

Safe mode, or not safe mode

First of all, Microsoft had us using the F8 key for years and over many operating systems, now they change it again (F4 or F5)!!! Do they know how frustrating this is??? If you boot once in safe mode, you'll see safe mode displayed in the corners of the
screen. If you reboot again into safe mode, you don't know if you're in safe mode or not. I couldn't figure out if I was in safe mode or safe mode with networking. And, then I had to jump through more hoops (using msconfig) to get into normal mode.

 

Its safe....you can always check it out by right clicking on it and scan it with your anti-virus.

 

You can also upload it to VirusTotal - Free Online Virus, Malware and URL Scanner for scanning.

 

What is it used for? Can I tell what program is invoking it? Should I let it through my firewall?
Google is not too helpful, or I don't have enough perseverance. Thanks
