welcome back to this bytes4u so since windows 8 came out microsoft decided
it was way too easy to get into safe mode
let's f8 that's all you need to do to get in but no no no we need to make it more difficult i know
don't worry guys in this video i'm going to show you six different methods to get into safe mode
the first four easiest if you can already get into windows the last two is if you can't get
into windows and number seven is well you'll see number seven anyway let's get started
alright so before we actually get into safe mode one of the things we're going to have to do
if you don't already have one and if you do just put the same one in again is we're going to have
to set a password so we'll click start settings or go into the control panel accounts sign in options
and then password now like many of you typically i don't have a password on my computer i just wanted
to go in i don't want to have to type every time i go in safe mode requires a password depending
on how old or how outdated your version of windows 10 is so we're going to have to set a
password if anything temporarily but in order to get into safe mode so we'll click add over here
and then we'll type in our new password and then click next finish
and now we have our password so then to get into safe mode we'll click on the start button
and type ms config and then click system configuration from here will go into boot
click safe mode apply and ok this is going to allow us to get into safe mode the problem is
every time you restart your computer you're going to go back into safe mode
this is a precaution just for now but on the next methods we won't have to go through that
and then we click restart all right and then here type in that new password you just put in
close this out and you're in safe mode now safe mode is important for so many reasons for example
one reason is if you install a driver or a windows update or
a piece of software or you have a virus you can't get into windows anymore so you need
windows safe mode to be able to remove all that stuff now in this video i've linked up above
that goes into basically a bad driver install and then how to remove that driver and everything now
if you've installed a program that starts up with your computer that causes you not
to be able to utilize it correctly i'm going to show you here real quick how to fix that
so when you're in safe mode you right click on the start button you go into task manager
and then start up yours might show up like this if it does just click more details
and then click startup okay so here we'll notice a bunch of programs that start up
some of i've already disabled but maybe i've installed a piece of software or a driver
that's causing me issues so i'm just going to go right click disable right click disable and
just because for example purposes right click and disable
now i can just close this then right click shut down or sign out well we forgot one thing
start ms config boot and uncheck this so that we don't go into safe mode
every single time we reboot apply okay and then restart alright so then when we're here
type in your brand new password
and you're in windows so while that method works it's not my favorite method so let's move
on to number two so for method number two we're going to go ahead and click on the start button
settings scroll down updating security
recovery and restart now under advanced startup
all right so here we're going to click on troubleshoot advanced options startup settings
and finally we're going to click on restart that's going to give us these options in a second
all right so then on startup settings we'll go ahead and press number four number five or number
six number five is for safe mode with networking and number six is safe mode with command prompt
the easiest is number four and then here we'll enter that new password and we are in safe mode
easy enough right so now let's right click shut down or sign up and restart for step number three
or for method number three all right so for method number three right click on the start button hover
over shutdown or sign out now we're going to hold the left shift key and press restart now
we can let go that shift key and we'll click troubleshoot advanced options startup settings
and again restart all right and like we did before just hit number four for safe mode
go ahead and log in and that's method number three all right
and let's go ahead into windows for method number four
now for method number four if you just can't get past this window you can get to here but nothing
you do works you're going to click on the start button hold again your left shift key then click
restart restart anyway while you're still holding your left shift key and
we'll be brought back to this one so that we'll click troubleshoot advanced options
startup settings and restart like we did before and number four here for safe mode
and enter in your password and you're in windows again so
now let's move on to number five number five is none of this works
and you're panicking don't worry you're still good that's panicking is kind of number seven
which really isn't a method to get back into windows foreshadowing alright so for
number six this is kind of a last-ditch effort that you really can't get into
windows and you're kind of panicking don't panic just yet so we're going to press the power button
when we see our boot logo asus msi gigabyte evga whatever motherboard manufacturer you have
when you see that press and hold the power button so let me show you
i'm gonna put my hand over here remember when i see that logo
press and hold
now that that's off turn it on again repeat the process you might need to do it two or three times
press and hold
now for the third time turn it on again the screen's gonna look a
little bit different this time or it should we just might have to do it a few more times
just in case i'm gonna have my finger right over here okay so when you see that please wait
then you're good so we're going to be brought into the recovery menu in the recovery menu
we'll just click see advanced repair options then it looks like it did before troubleshoot
advanced options startup settings and then restart to change windows options such as
and like we did before number four enter say enable safe mode
and you're in windows again okay so now for the next step it's going to involve our windows 10
usb install drive the emergency is after this one so i kind of put this one
into play it is a little bit more advanced so work with me on this alright so for this
one with the computer turned off we're going to insert that windows 10 drive
and turn around and we're going to go into the bios all right so when we're in the bios we're
going to go over to boot now in boot we have two options if you have a boot override option
you can just select your thumb drive and press enter on that thumb drive and it'll boot to it
and then next time it'll boot regular like you have set up in these boot options
okay so now here on boot option number one if we don't have boot override we're going
to select the patriot memory or whatever your thumb drive is press enter f10 to save and exit
and okay okay and then here you select whatever version of windows you have installed
and then we'll click next don't click install now
that might be for the last method and then click repair your computer
now this menu is a little bit different because we don't have the option
to boot into safe mode we have to make it so now we'll click troubleshoot command prompt
okay so then here we're going to go ahead and type bcd edit space forge slash set
open bracket the little squiggly lines here and default then close it space safe boot
space minimal
then we press enter then at this point take out your thumb drive then shut down your computer
then turn it back on
ah and we forgot to set back the windows boot manager as the boot
drive so let's go back into the bios then in the bios we'll go back to boot
come down to boot option number one and set windows boot manager f10 save and exit okay
and just go ahead and log login so the last method unfortunately is reinstalling windows it
is not ideal although that's my favorite method because windows is fresh windows is brand new
your system works great if you don't know how to i have a video linked up here that's going to go
ahead and show you from beginning to end how to install windows and you know give you all your
recommendations and everything i don't recommend repairing windows more than what we've done
already because then your windows is kind of crippled it's not going to work as well as it did
potentially before all these issues so in this video i've shown you a bunch of different ways
to get into windows safe mode windows safe mode really does help you a ton unfortunately
microsoft made it incredibly difficult to get into not as easy as it was windows 7 and just
about everything before that but i mean it is what it is we have to live with it right now
so let me know down in the comments below what you think of this video on top of that
just realize i made this video because a lot of people have asked me for something along
these lines and so just know that when that happens when people ask me enough questions
that you know i have to type it a bunch of times i'd rather make a video i feel like that'll help
you so much more to get what you need right now even though i do reply to all of my comments
if not within seconds you know within maybe an hour two or three and if i'm just slam
busy doing a bunch of other stuff another day or two or something but i'll get back to you
i always do unless youtube does not deliver the message and unfortunately that happens sometimes
so let me know down what you think down in the comments below i'd love to get your feedback
and again maybe i'll make some more videos for you guys on the topics you have for me
so again this is iggy with this bite for you i'm always trying to bring you the latest review and
then also a bunch of different videos to help solve a lot of the headaches you guys have today
all right my friends iggy with this bites for you up see you guys
