Windows 10 safe mode

Postby didds » January 13th, 2017, 9:52 am

A chum has a HP win10 PC that won;t boot into windows. tried the usual chkdsk /R and F11 options to retore to a past point etc to no avail.

Its loking like a rebuild from factory defaults via F11 but one thing has intrigued me... there appears to be no safe Mode under win10?

Or rather there is from googling but you have to be able to access full mode in order to turn it on - and as he can;t access full mode that's a non starter.

what a stupid idea!

DAK how we get to safe mode with a HP win10 PC that won;'t boot into full mkode?

Its a HP Envy 700 PC series

Several options here, including via a command prompt:-
