If you are already familiar with Windows 8, you may have noticed that it's almost impossible to boot in Safe Mode at startup (using the F2 or F8 key) ... Windows 8 boots almost instantaneously!
How to access Safe-mode?
Method 1
- From the Start Screen, press WindowsKey + C to access the Charm Bar.
- Click on "Change PC settings".
- For Windows 8 : Go to the General section > Advance Start up > Restart Now.
- For Windows 8.1: Go to the Update & Recovery section > Recovery.
- Under "Advanced Startup", click on "Restart Now".
- A new screen shall be displayed > Select "Troubleshoot"
- Select "Advanced options":
- Click on Windows Startup Settings:
- In this window you will have a summary of the different startup options > Click on Restart PC.
- In the next window simply tap on the Function key (F1-F9) corresponding to the Safe Mode.
Method 2
- Open the "Run" menu and type the following command "msconfig.exe".
- Go to the "Boot" tab
- In the Boot options section, select "Safe boot".
- Click on Apply and then OK.
- Restart your PC to access the Safe Mode.
Method 3
For the last method, we are going to use the EasyBCD software.- NB: THIS ONLY WORKS FOR TRADITIONAL AND NON-UEFI BIOS!!!
If you are using UEFI you can achieve the same thing with the EasyUEFI software.
- Download links:
- EasyBCD: http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/
- EasyUEFI: http://www.easyuefi.com/
- Download and install EasyBCD.
- Launch the program
- Click on "Edit Boot Menu".
- Clear the "Skip the boot menu" checkbox.
- You can also choose on which OS to boot by default (Dualboot configuration).
- You can now close EasyBCD.
- Restart your PC.
