windows 10 is my biggest mistake and worst nightmare

Shift+F8 worked perfectly fine for me. I was stuck on loading screen after a driver update failure and now I can troubleshoot and reset my pc. Thanks a lot! :)

windows 10 is the most stupid, complicated (without any reason) window ever

[jeromyperez]

lol, so I can't restart at all. So I'm trying to find a way to boot into safe mode without it. So far, I'm starting to understand why Microsoft has lost a few class action lawsuits for how awful Windows 10 is.

it was easier to start system in safe mode on windows 7.

Gotta love how i have to have a working pc to boot it in safe mode when the point of safe mode is that my pc is compromised

[Kippykip]

Wow this is a big fuck up for microsoft, how are we supposed to restart/change settings when the OS itself won't load?

[HrhFish]

All these videos do this with windows loaded up. How do you do it with a blank screen when your windows won't boot??

I tried getting into safe mode for a few days pressing different keys. Eventually I pressed shift and F10 simultaneously and it worked! I hope this helps others.

Thanks Niyas. it worked for it. Was real handy when I badly needed it. Good work chief. Keep going

This is helpful when you have a screen to select from. What about when Win10
updates leave you with a blank screen ?
