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. .

 

Question about password in Safe Mode

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• Are you not able to login into the PC or the Microsoft Account using a browser?
• Did you check in Safe mode with Networking?

The On-screen keyboard is located in the Ease of access center located at the bottom left corner of the lock screen. It acts as a temporary keyboard in-case your keyboard does not work.



Check if you are able to login by typing the password using on-screen keyboard by following the steps below:

• Click on the Ease of access icon located on the bottom right corner of the screen.
• Select on-screen keyboard option and type the password.

After entering the password and before pressing Enter,
click on the icon adjacent to where you typed the password and check if you have entered the right password.



Method 1: Boot your PC in Safe mode with networking
by following the steps from the link below and check if you are facing similar issue.



Safe mode is a diagnostic mode that starts your computer with limited drivers necessary to run Windows. The words
Safe Mode appear at the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using.



Expand the options to boot into Safe Mode:

To exit from Safe mode follow the steps below:

• Open Run command by pressing Windows key + R
  on the keyboard and type msconfig in the command box.
• Under Boot tab uncheck the Safe boot
  option.
• Reboot the system and check if the changes are effective.

Method 2: If you are unable to login and is using Microsoft account to enter the user profile, I suggest you to use another PC to reset the password from the link below and check if the issue is resolved.
