The most common way to boot windows 10 into safe mode is to press the windows +I key to
open your settings, select Update and Security, select recovery, select Restart now under
Advanced options, when the computer restarts you should select 4 or f4 to go into safe
mode. Safe mode is the mode of windows to diagnose an issue with your operating system.
It essentially stops all programs that aren't needed to function and removes custom user
settings. It will only allow programs necessary for the OS to work. When you are in safe
mode you don't get the "customized" user settings that you may have placed before and
therefor the hard to read background would not be there. You would be able to go into
settings and see them in their original format since its designed for trouble shooting. Once
you change the settings to something more easy on the eyes you can go back to business
per usual. If your settings don't work the first time as intended you can always restart the
computer and try again.
The easiest and most convenient way to access Windows 10 Boost mode is to hold shift and
restart your computer. To explain you would hold down shift open up the windows panel
and then click restart computer. Once rebooted and are on the log in screen click on the
power button and it will pull up the options panel. From there you will be able to boost
Windows 10 and fix the issue going on. Another option to help boost Windows 10 is too use
the install disc and will be able to access it that time. Once you've brought up the computer
after the restart you can go into the Windows menu you can use the troubleshoot options to
reset the settings and fix the issue. If not you have countless other ways that you are able to
use to get Windows boosted and fix the color problem. Me personally would have to use the
shift restart option because I feel like it is the simplest and best way to use it and get the job
done.
When your having problems the best way to get into safe mode in my opinion is always
through the boot up screen. I have had virus before on old computers that would just make
things worse if I tried to boot up in normal boot and then go to safe mood through the
settings. if you are going through the boot up screen, you will need to push ctrl and F8 at the
same time in order to get it into recovery mode. Which on faster starting computers this
might not be a first try thing. My opinion, it’s the best way for an average joe to get into
recovery mode if you’re having serious issues that you might not want to boot into normal
boot. If you can go into your normal boot without fear of making problems worse then go to
the windows tag click power button. Hold shift while clicking restart. Which then will allow
you to choose an option. You then want to choose troubleshoot, advanced and in the
startup, setting click restart again. Which will give you a list of startup options with the three
safe zones being just safe mode, safe mode with networking, and safe mode command
prompt.
Through research I found that one of the easiest ways to access Windows 10 boot options,
are to hold down the shift key on your keyboard and restart the PC. Opening up the start
menu and click on power button to open power options. Now pressing and hold the shift
key an click on restart. This will have to be done to open the boot menu in windows 10. I
found that you can also use Windows 10 installation drive/disc. You can boot from that
usb/disc and click on repair option to access windows 10 boot options. This is also a great
option if you don't have access to another windows 10 pc to create a recovery drive. You can
also hold the shift key while clicking restart from the shut down or signout menu. by
selecting trouble shoot advanced options start up settings restart after PC restarts, there is a
list of options select 4 or f4 or fn +f4 following the screen instructions to start the pc in
safemode. There are numerous ways but these are the ones i found to be easiest.
When trying to boot into safe mode, there are a number of ways to do so if there is an issue.
If you can not get into the log in screen, then reboot. When the reboot process has started,
interupt windows while it is loading. Do this three times and windows thinks that there is an
error and will give prompts to check for a problem. From there, follow the advanced settings
to restart with options. Restart the computer and it will give buttons to determine how you
would like to start. Start with safe mode enabled. If one can get onto a sign in screen, then
hold down shift and click restart. This will take you to advanced settings that you can follow
into safe mode once rebooted. Another way to enter safe mode is to start the boot with
either a startup disc or a USB. Follow prompts to get to safe mode that way. I think that
those would be the best way to enter safe mode if the setting have been altered.
There are many ways to enter safe mode on Windows 10. Since it's impossible to see the
screen it narrows it down a little bit. I still found a few ways we can enter safe mode. One
way is to interrupt the normal boot process. To do that when windows first starts up press
the power button for a few seconds three times. After the third time Windows will then
enter Automatic repair mode. It will then start an automatic diagnoses of the PC. After the
diagnoses the Automatic repair window will show up. You then select advanced options. On
the next screen select troubleshoot. ON the troubleshoot screen click advanced options
again. On the Advanced Options screen select Startup Settings. If you do not see the Startup
settings click See more options. On the Startup Settings screen you can then select restart.
After restarting you can enter safe mode. It will give the option to enter safe mode, safe
mode with networking, and safe mode with command prompt. After researching ways to
enter safe mode with an unreadable screen I feel this is the best way.
There are several ways to enter Safe Mode one of the ways is to hold shift and restart.
Another way is to interrupt the start up of windows three times in a row. The third way is to
use a USB boot drive with windows on it or a CD. A fourth way is to use the system
configuration tool, but this probably wouldn't work in this situation. These are the most
basic ways of getting into Safe Mode. I would also show my friend how to do each of these
so that in the future should he do this he knows how to fix it. I am sure we have all run into a
point where we change a setting or install something that messes with our system, but there
are so many ways of troubleshooting these issues. I know that in older versions of Windows
you could also use shift+F8 this however doesn't work in Windows 10, also it doesn't work
with SSDs as well. These are the ways that I would go about fixing this issue in particular.
First I like to say it's never too late to learn something new. After working in this field for so
many years there are tips and tricks you take from working with different people. I'm the
type of person who can work with different people. Saying that it means more opportunity
to learn from all kinds of people.
I did some research and notice I knew two ways to boot into safe mode on Windows 10. I
have not told anyone about my previous experience working at a Career College and how I
use the following steps to help the students at the Career College.
Press Windows + R Keys simultaneously on Keyboard
Type msconfig
Switch to the Boot Tab
Select the safe boot then Ok
Restart
Shift + Restart Combination
Open the start menu and click on Power button
Then while keeping the Shift Key pressed clicked on the restart
Windows 10 tell says choose an option
Choose Troubleshoot
Then on the Troubleshoot screen Choose the advance options
Then choose startup settings Press Restart
Then choose which options you want in Safe mode
Use Shift + F8
Press Shift+F8, just before Windows starts loading so that you make it start the recovery
mode, from where you can boot into Safe Mode. The problem is that most times, Shift + F8
and F8 don’t work even though they are correct commands, supported by Windows 10.
You can enable the legacy Advanced Boot options menu that allows you to Press F8 upon
statup
