Guys, can you tell me how to enable safe mode in windows 8 enterprise as i cannot access it and aidax64 tells that my OS doesn't support it.
Command Prompt: Enable: bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy Disable: bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard
i use this in an autoit exe under win8 to add an extra menu option for safemode. Code: ;Win8 Safemode to BCD RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & @WindowsDir & '\system32\bcdedit /set {current} safeboot Minimal', "", @SW_HIDE) ;Runwait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & @WindowsDir & '\system32\reagentc /enable', "", @SW_HIDE) RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & @WindowsDir & '\system32\bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows 8 (Safe Mode)"', "", @SW_HIDE) RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & @WindowsDir & '\system32\bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot', "", @SW_HIDE) RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & @WindowsDir & '\system32\bcdedit /set {current} bootmenupolicy standard', "", @SW_HIDE) RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & @WindowsDir & "\system32\bcdedit /timeout 10", "", @SW_HIDE)
Dear All, My Problem is that whenever i try to boot in safe mode i just see a blank screen and nothing else. When i saw info in OS section of aida64 it is telling that OS is not supporting safe mode. I Installed Win8 Enterprise MSDN ISO.
Would have been helpful if you had told us that from the beginning. I am going to install Win 8 enterprise to test this.
I installed Win 8 Enterprise x64 and used msconfig to change boot options which was successful in booting to safe mode. reagentc.exe /boottore allowed for entering windows RE environment. Have to navigate thru it to get to safe mode.
Just use this ^^^^ Enter that into CMD as Admin, then the normal F8 at boot will give you the old Safe mode options screen again
I Had tried all the methods. Then i installed the same iso in virtual machine. I cannot enter(boot) into safe mood in my pc but in vm i can boot into safe mode. The CONCLUSION is i think Bitdefender windows 8 security(as it uses elam feauture)/uxstyle core(due to microsoft (new)policy for changing system files) prevents windows from enter intro safe mode. in my normal pc i can only screen flickr for 2-3 times then blank. Thanks for your help guys
Is your keyboard USB ? And if yes, is USB Legacy Support enabled in the BIOS ? Bitdefender and UXStyle, Windows 8 etc haven't even loaded by the time safe mode options are shown so I doubt its any of them
I declared the problem is solve i got it resolve by myself. Cause:EFI rom enabled in bios Solution:Just enable leagacy rom in bios. Note:This only applies if windows 8 is installed without UEFI.
