Its a dark day when I have to look up how to boot into safe mode. It used to be so easy. I was really surprised a few years ago when I couldn't figure this out on my own. I think the new process for getting into safe mode is related to the way the Windows startup routine has changed . I would need to look up the details to be sure though.

Just give us back the simple F8 method.

I love how most of the ways to use Safe Mode now are from within Windows. 99% of the time when you want Safe Mode is because you cant get to Windows.

After all in my experience all the new 'restore and recovery tools' in Windows 10 are junk. They do not work most of the time.

Windows 7 was just "Oh it won't boot! Boot up in Safe Mode! Reboot and away!" Not that I want to use Windows 7 anymore but that was a happy time.

Now when I see "Automatic Repair..." I know its probably copy the data off and rebuild time.
