Hi During the boot of Windows 8.1 Update, how do I go directly to the screen of the advanced settings of the boot? In this phase, how can I go in safe mode? Thanks Bye
Swipe right edge of screen and choose settings and then goto change pc settings below you wil see Update and recovery goto to recovery and choose restart now @ Advanced startup Windows will now boot into F8 modus and there you can choose safe modus There must be an easier way by pressing f8 at startup but my computer is too fast and f8 is boot menu of my mother board !! Good luck
You can add a safemode entry to the bcd if you wish. :SafeMode stART bcdedit.exe /set {current} safeboot Minimal & bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows (Safe Mode)" & bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot & bcdedit /set {current} bootmenupolicy standard & bcdedit /timeout 5 & pause goto :START Also, if you set the bootmenupolicy to legacy it will display the old Win 7 bcd menu where you can use the f8 trick. It just occurred to me that if you set a timeout value you may have time to do f8 with a standard menu. The default is 0.
As Halikus has said. The function keys aren't available in Win8+ until you remove the bootmenupolicy. Code: bcdedit /store S:\EFI\Microsoft\boot\bcd /deletevalue {default} bootmenupolicy The default timeout is 0 but once bootmenupolicy is removed hitting the F8 key works. You can alter this though: Code: bcdedit /store S:\EFI\Microsoft\boot\bcd /timeout 3 Code: reagentc /boottore Will Boot To WinRE...
