    Windows 10 only boots when holding shift+f8


    Technically my pc works but only if I press shift+f8 on startupIt started when I attempted to turn on virtualisation from bios -> after doing it instead of booting windows 10 only boots to a bsod that is on screen less than second so I'm unable to read italso these don't show up in event viewer/in logs or anything I can find so can't tell what's wrongI turned virtualisation back offit was supposed to be supported though and the bsod still keeps happening and after few restarts it goes to automatic repair mode where none of the options helpThrough something I managed to get windows 10 to

    :)

  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.

    Solved


    Trying to think about that suggestion, but if nothing on screen seeing how this option is possible, why only other suggestion was Shift+F8 tapping F8 while holding shift on boot up.

    windows 10 not booting

    Hi Arun,

    Thank you for your tips, but I still have the same problem:

    1. wasn't successful with external display either via vga or hdmi.

    2. unable to boot into safe mode with holding shift+f8 or just f8.

    I can hear the initial windows sound though. And after waiting for a few hours, i see Fast Access logo in the middle of the screen with windows 10 logo at the back.

    Any other suggestions?

    thanks

    Shift key only works when I tap it, not when I hold it.: My shift key, for some reason, only works when I tap it, and then the next character will be affected by the shift key, but if I hold it then it won't.I need a fix please...It fixes itself when I restart my pc but I'm tired of doing that....
