    Shift key Plus Restart For Safe Mode Don't Work+ Fix?


    Hi I have a desktop and upgraded from win 7 to win 10 but the holding down of the Shift key when Restarting will only take me to a regular start up. How can i get to safe mode using the shift key, it works on my laptop. I know there are other ways to accomplish this but i want to use the shift key if i can.

    Any Idea's on how to get the shift key working?? Thanks

    :)

  2. Does F8 key still work to boot into Safe Mode?


    It was Option Two, step 4 (holding shift key while pressing restart) that worked.

  3. Password not accepted in Safe mode

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    Have you tried all the above steps suggested by Sangeeta Sarkar on September 13, 2015.

    I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better.

    • Are you trying to login the Microsoft account or the Local account in safe mode?
    • Did you try with only safe mode or safe mode with networking?
    • What is the critical error you are getting?

    If you are using Windows 10. To go to safe mode you have to follow the below steps.

    If you are able to go to login screen in normal mode try the below steps to go to safe mode with networking.


    • At the login screen click on the power symbol.

    • Hold SHIFT + Click Restart.

    • After restarting your system, select the Troubleshoot option.

    • Select advanced options under
      Troubleshoot screen.

    • Click on Startup Settings.

    • Click Restart and follow the onscreen steps to go to
      Safe Mode with networking and check if you are able to login.

    [*]
    Please get back with more information, we will be glad to help you further.
