    Windows Can't Boot Into Safe Mode but can Boot Normally


    Hey Everyone,


    I have Bootcamp running Windows on my 2019 Mac Pro. Whenever it boots into normal Windows it boots perfectly and has no issues. But, when I try to boot it into safe mode, it goes completely dark. My monitor says it has no signal, and the computer just sits there forever and never, at least visually, boots into windows. All the lights are on on the computer, mouse, and keyboard I'm using wired ones. I can still boot into MacOS just fine. The only solution I can figure out on how to fix this is to completely wipe my Windows side and rebuild it, and that's not something I really want to do.


    After a few times of trying to get it to boot into safe mode however, Windows thinks something is wrong and will force itself to boot into safe mode every time the computer tries to boot into Windows, effectively making Windows impossible to boot into unless I destroy and rebuild it. I just cannot figure out how to force windows to boot normally or how to get safe mode to work. Mashing F8 doesn't do anything. I've tried multiple monitors and no matter what there's no signal. If there's anything I can do from the Mac side or some key I have to hold to get it to work properly I'd love to know. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm sort of at my wit's end and I can't figure it out.


    I can access every file in the bootcamp drive, so if I can change the text of something or the configurations by directly editing a file, that option is available, but I wouldn't know what to edit or what to do.

    Thanks

    :)

  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

    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. .
