When troubleshooting your computer, there are various ways to boot the Windows 10 into
safe mode. Safe mode refers to the inbuilt feature of troubleshooting that helps in disabling
the unnecessary programs as well as drivers during the booting process.
One of the popular ways to boot Windows 10 into safe mode is through system
configuration. You need to go to the system configuration panel, choose the boot option,
then on the safe boot option, which will enable the system to boot into safe mode. You will
also have to choose from the additional options like minimal, alternate shell, active
directory repair, and network (Rathbone, 2018). After choosing the preferred option, you
have to click on apply and then ok. The system configuration will then ask whether you
want to restart the system or not. Select restart, and the process will be initiated
immediately (McGrath, 2019).
Another method of booting Windows 10 into safe mode is by tapping. Simply, by tapping
the function key F8, you can reach the safe mode. It will enable you to make the selections
for the safe mode and start the process (Rathbone, 2018). Yet another means of booting
Windows 10 into the save mode is by using the advanced start-up option. All these
processes can help in diagnosing the problem and correcting your system efficiently. I
researched on how to successfully boot your windows 10 computer into safe mode.There
are a few different ways i will discuss, some of which may not be viable given this unique
case.
You can press the windows + l key on the keyboard to open settings, if this does not work,
you can select the windows icon, go to settings, select update and security, recovery. Under
advanced start up you select restart now. Once the PC boots back up you then select the
option to 'troubleshoot' then you will go to advanced options, start up settings, restart. Once
it finishes restarting you will then press 4 or F4 to go into safe mode.You can also get safe
mode by doing it this way, which is the way i would do it in this case.On the windows sign
in screen, press and hold the shift key while you hold power, after your pc restarts you will
choose the option to troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, restart. Then you will
press 4 or F4 to go into safe mode. After I was done researching different ways to boot the
Windows 10 into safe mode and I found that the best way to is to Click on the Windows
button, then hold Shift and click restart, then click the troubleshoot options and then go to
advanced options, after going to advanced options click start up settings, after clicking start
up settings under start up settings click on restart after the boot options are displayed on the
screen your computer will go into Windows 10 safe mode. I think that if I had to choose a
way to do it I would execute this way also. Seems like the easiest way to put the computer
into safe mode. I have always thought that there was only one way to boot a computer but
after researching I found that there are numerous ways. I also did not know that you could
change the settings on your computer in the safe mode boot setting. I learned a lot by
researching the ins and outs of the Safe Mode boot menu. If you have already tried
changing the Color Calibration and restarting the computer, yet it is still not working
properly, then try launching into Safe Mode, then:
Launching Safe Mode:
Press the power key
Hold down the shift key and click Restart.
Click the option Troubleshoot and then Advanced options.
Go to “Advanced options” and click Start-up Settings.
Under “Start-up Settings” click Restart.
The relevant options for booting in Safe Mode are numbers, 4,5, or 6.
Number 4- Enable Safe Mode
Number 5- Enable Safe Mode with Networking
Number 6- Enable Safe Mode with Command Prompt
You can choose with the function keys
Open Run Command (Windows button +R)
A dialog box will open type "msconfig"
Locate and select the Boot tab and select Safe with Minimal as an option.
Restart Computer
Hopefully, the issue gets resolved by then. In doing research I have found other methods
prior to this one, I have not had this issue in the past so I am not very knowledgeable on
how to resolve it so I did learn a good bit since I didn't know anything before. Going from
windows 7 to windows 10 is still some getting used to with the way the software works.
