If we are forced to start Windows in safe mode, we must carry out a series of steps through the different Windows menus to be able to access that option, an option that, for an unknown reason, is hidden within the system and is which is not easy to get to since with the release of Windows 10, Microsoft removed the ability to start the computer in safe mode from the loading screen by pressing the F8 key. What is clear is that Microsoft seems to does not like that we access this version of Windows, although, sometimes, it is the only option to be able to fix a Windows malfunction.
The solution to this problem, once again, is to use one of the different third-party applications that solve this problem and that make it much easier to access Windows safe mode without having to lose ourselves in Windows or remember to press the key Shift when clicking on the Restart button. Thanks to the Safe Mode Launcher application, in just 3 clicks we can start the computer in safe mode.
Safe Mode Launcher is a completely free application that we can download through this link, an application that, in addition to starting Windows in safe mode, also offers us the same boot options that we can find from Windows, such as the possibility of starting with networking or only with command prompt. In addition, it also allows us to enable the Windows boot menu when starting to be able to select this option when we want or restore the operation of the F8 key again so that it shows the windows boot menu as it did until the arrival of Windows 10.
To start in safe mode, we just have to check the Safe mode box and click on apply options. The next time we reboot, only the next time, the computer will enter safe mode. When we exit safe mode by restarting the computer, it will start again as it normally does.
But in addition to the options that the application shows us on its main page, we click on the button Menuwe can also access many options such as start the computer in repair mode, activate the hidden administrator account, start Msconfig (to modify the boot options) and the Bcdedit console (command line tool to modify the Windows boot).
This application enables the support for MSI applications in safe modeso we will be able to remove any application installed through this distribution route without problems, since, natively, Windows does not offer support in safe mode.
This application is compatible from Windows Vista onwards and is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The application is located translated into spanish for the most part, so we are not going to have any problem when interacting with the application between the basic options.
