Safe+Mode+Boot+into+Without+using+the+F8+Key

If you cannot start your Windows system, pressing [**F8**] this is what you can do when your PC is powered up it gives you access to the Advanced Options menu.

From here you can load up the minimal Safe Mode and hopefully fix the start-up program. There are many other occasions when Safe Mode is useful, such as when you need to remove a virus from your PC. But it can sometimes be tricky to press the [**F8**] key at exactly the right time. If you are already in Windows, you can easily restart into Safe Mode without using the [**F8**] key at all.

Here’s how to do it:-


 * 1) Press [**Windows Key**] + [**R**], type **MSCONFIG** and click **OK**.
 * 2) Click on the **Boot** tab.
 * 3) Tick the option **Safe** **Boot**, then select **Minimal** underneath it.
 * 4) Click **OK**.
 * 5) Click **Restart**.

You will find that Windows automatically enters Safe Mode without you pressing [**F8**]. To revert to normal mode, simply follow the steps above, un-ticking the **Safe** **Boot** option in step 3.
