    Stop computer booting into safe mode


    My screen started flickering and (following a bad guide) I used msconfig to configure safe mode.
    Safe mode does not allow PIN login. My password does not work. I am sure that I have remembered it correctly.
    I can log into https://account.microsoft.com/devices/ and see my devices there. The password I use there does not log me onto my PC.

    What are my options? How can I get the computer to boot normally so I can enter my PIN.
    Is the PC login credential different to the Microsoft Account? Is the PC credential an email & if so how would I go about reseting the password (assuming I have linked a phone).

    :)

  2. Can't boot into Normal/Safe Mode with Networking, only safe mode...


    Good Evening,
    I could do with some pointers on resolving an issue. I can only boot into windows in safe mode in Windows 10. Normal mode and safe mode with networking doesn't work. The problem occurred after a windows update. I have removed the latest updates that were installed and cleared any pending ones but it still won't boot properly. I have also run the troubleshooter and tried to recovery to an earlier date which also doesn't work.
    The laptop is a HP ENVY 17 notebook. At boot it just gets to the HP logo with the circular loading icon and no further and can only boot it into safe mode. Can anyone recommend the next steps? I have also tried the following;

    • stopping startup items
    • uninstalling hardware drivers
    • removing recent software
    • running troubleshooters at boot
    • sfc scan
    • diagnostic/selective startups with minimal services running
    Would the fact that I cant boot into Safe Mode with Networking imply its a network driver related issue?
    Bit of a dead end really, any help would be much appreciated
    Kind regards
    Trevor

  3. Boot into Safe Mode on Windows 10  


    I am stuck in Safe Mode in spite of following all the suggested steps to go back to Normal Startup - Like opening file location of msconfig.exe & running as Administrator. The computer I am trying to get out of safe mode has just been updated from Windows 7.

    Hi David,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    As your computer is stuck in Safe Mode, try these steps.

    • Press Win + R key on the keyboard and in the run Window type
      msconfig.
    • Click the Boot tab and uncheck Safe boot if it is selected.
    Hope this information helps.
