Windows 8.1 OS, bring up the run command and typing msconfig, select to safe boot and then hit ok. Nothing happens. How do i get it to boot? thx
There's a few ways to access the advanced startup options, but the one preferred method is to run: Code: shutdown /r /o /t 0 That lets you enter the recovery options menu (it's kind-of like a duplicate winre except that it's not booted to) Then you select the advanced startup options and when you reboot it'll have the like 9 options and a hidden 10th or something. One of those is the safe-mode. They went out of their way to hide these recovery options and automate things in win8.x, which I personally don't approve of. As a rule, I don't like it when people design software that assumes that everyone using it is an idiot.
