Easy way to boot from Windows 10 to Safe Mode

Windows 10 is a widely used operating system.  Like other countries, the number of Windows users in Bangladesh is much higher.  And the number of Windows 10 users is slowly increasing day by day.  However, unlike all other operating systems in the world, Windows 10 and "100 percent" are not bug-free.  Windows 10 causes different types of bugs, errors, etc. at different times.  To debug these issues, we need to boot Windows into safe mode.  But many times many people forget how to boot Windows 10 in safe mode!  I myself sometimes forget how to boot Windows 10 in safe mode.  Because there are many versions of Windows 10 and every major version upgrade Microsoft changes many of these Windows settings.  So let's see today how to boot Windows 10 in safe mode in an easy way.

What is Windows Safe Mode?

Safe Mode is designed to diagnose a variety of software and hardware issues in the Windows operating system.  Currently, the Android operating system also has the Safe Mode feature.

If you boot Windows into Safe Mode, you will see that a limited number of files and drivers are loaded, and even your set desktop wallpaper is disabled here.  Safe mode does not launch any third party drivers and programs.  With this, if any issue arises for this third party software / driver on the PC, it can be fixed by entering this safe mode.  You will be surprised to know that this Safe Mode feature has been provided in Windows operating system since 1995!

Method 1) F8 enabled / disabled in Windows 10.

In earlier versions of Windows (Windows 7/8), you can see the advanced boot options by pressing the F8 key on the first screen to boot.  From there, Safe Mode option was given at the beginning.  But Microsoft has disabled this F8 button in Windows 10 operating system.

The F8 boot menu has been disabled so that Windows 10 can boot faster.  Needless to say the F8 menu can be brought back but keep in mind that it was a feature of the Legacy BIOS menu.  Currently Windows 10 machines use UEFI mode.  So you have to move your BIOS to Legacy to get F8 back and I would not recommend 99%.  If you don't understand all these things, don't fight.

How to enable F8

Hmmm, you can bring back the F8 boot menu on your Windows 10 device if you want, but you need to bring your UEFI BIOS to Legacy.  And doing so will be more of a hassle than an advantage, especially for those who have Windows set up on an SSD.  So skip to the next solution.  However, for those who want to bring back F8, follow the steps below.

1) First open the Command Prompt as Admin.  (Search by typing CMD, then open it as Run as administrator.)

2) When the Command Prompt is turned on, copy and paste the following code and press Enter

bcdedit / set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

Diameter!  Done!  Now restart the PC.  And press F8 before the Windows logo appears when you start, then you will see that Advanced Boot Options will be unlocked.

To disable the F8 menu as before, type the following code in the command prompt and press Enter.

bcdedit / set {current} bootmenupolicy Standard.

Note, however, that you can only access the boot menu in F8 mode if you have access to Windows.

Method 2) System Configuration Tool!

The easiest way to get to the ১০Safe mode boot menu in Windows 10 is by configuring the System Configuration Tool.  Like Windows 7's Advanced Boot Menu, Windows 10 has its own system, with a system configuration tool.  So let's see how to boot Safe Mode through System Configuration tool:

1) First launch the Run app by pressing the Windows + R button on the keyboard.  (If not, type System Configuration App in the search box).  In the Run box, type MSConfig and press Enter.

2) When the system configuration app is launched, click on the Boot tab.  Then tick the Safe Boot box and tick the Minimal cell.

3) Now Apply> OK.  A system restart prompt popup will appear.

Click the Restart button, then your system will restart in Safe Mode.

Uncheck the Safe Mode option from the System Configuration tool to return to normal boot as before.

Method 3) From the login screen

Many times BSOD error occurs in the way of logging in to Windows.  In that case you can't get into Windows and you're stuck on the login screen.  However, you can also boot Safe Mode from the login screen.

1) Hold down the Shift key from the keyboard from the login screen or Sign-in screen;  Click the power icon in the lower right corner of the screen then cl7ick the Restart button from there.  (You don't have to hold down the Shift key).

2) Windows will now restart and Recovery Envirnment will start.

3) Now click on the Troubleshoot option.

4) Click on Advanced options.

5) Click on Startup Settings option.

6) Then click the Restart button.

7) Now you have to choose any one of the specified options of Safe Mode.  By default, the normal safe mode is in the 4th option.  Press F4 button to select 4th option.

Method 4) From the Start menu

In addition to the Shift + Restart method from the login screen, you can go to Safe Mode from Windows as usual.  Everything is the same.

1) Hold down the Shift key on the keyboard and click the Restart button from the Start menu.

2) Follow everything else as in the 3rd method above.

Method 5) From Windows 10 settings

Safe Mode can also be accessed from the Windows 10 Settings app.  You can access the recovery options from the Windows 10 settings app and start Safe Mode from there.

1) Launch the settings app by pressing the Windows + I button.  From there, click on “Update & Security”.

2) Click on the Recovery tab from the left pane.

3) In the recovery section you will see that there is a part called Advanced Startup, from there click on Restart Now button.

This will open the same Troubleshoot window that was started in the Shift + Restart method.  So come there troubleshoot> advanced options> Startup settings> Restart.  And turn on Safe Mode by pressing the F4 button.

Last method: From Windows 10 Installation

Another way you can get into Safe Mode is by using the Windows 10 Installation Setup menu.  Blue Screen error due to various problems. In fact, you can go to Safe Mode by inserting Windows 10 setup disk or bootable USB drive.  Here's what to do:

1) Enter Windows 10 bootable USB and boot into it.

2) Windows Setup In fact, from there click on the Repair your computer option.

3) Then go to Troubleshoot> command prompt.

When the command prompt is turned on, enter the following command

bcdedit / set {default} safeboot minimal

Then enter, your system will start booting in Safe Mode.

4) Use the following command to boot normally by disabling Windows 10 Safe Mode.

bcdedit / deletevalue {default} safeboot
