    Screwed up! Need EXPERT! "Safe Boot" and "keep changes as permanent" in play


    What a mess! But, I'm 72 and old, ya know? Now I only have half a brain! Here goes!Have Dell with 256GB M.2 SSD main drive. I also think I have a bad motherboard, but Dell keeps insisting it's software related. The problem started when my computer started taking 5-10 minutes to boot. So, upon turning on the computer, neither function keys, keyboard, or mouse would work until I had the windows Welcome screen showing. Anyway, first sign of life was the Dell logo screen. No CAPS light or Mouse light. Then, I would get a KEYBOARD NOT PRESENT message about 1 minute later which gave me three

    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. .

    Keep Safe Search OFF in IE11 & Chromium Edge Permanently

    Your reply "That only affects searching from the taskbar." to my post about making the two changes in the registry is incorrect IMHO. One is actually entitled "SafeSearchMode" which could only apply to safe search and not to the "Taskbar". Both my registry changes are still set to "0" and my Taskbar search still works fine as it always has. I have just added Bing as exceptions (whitelist) in both Internet Explorer and Chromium Edge. Safe Search is currently turned "OFF" in both. I am not optimistic this will keep Safe Search permanently off, as well as, Search Suggestions, but it would be great if it does. I still feel Microsoft should allow the owner and user of his personal PC to only have to turn Safe Search and Suggestions OFF one time and save for it to stay that was permanently.
