Default safe mode without msconfig?

Hi All,

Go To Assist has a function that allows me to boot into safe
mode. It does not use msconfig.

Is there a way to boot into safe mode without msconfig. Something
from the command line perhaps?

These things "seem" to change a lot in 10. (I use to just use f8
at boot.)

WINDOWS 10; When everything fails, pressing the power button let the
computer partially start. Do this three time is rapid succession will
get you to the repair screen from which you can start the computer in
the safe mode

You can get to the Safe mode by right clicking on the power icon during
the start up process

Exactly where in the start up process? At the password screen?

F8 boot menu for Windows 10 (done from emergency boot CD).
Can be done from running OS as well, by removing the /store clause.

dir /AH C:\boot\BCD # verify it is there, it could be in system reserved

bcdedit /store C:\boot\BCD /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu True

Looks like this. You could also tighten up the delay from
30 seconds to 5 seconds, so this menu can be left on customer
systems.

Note - results are unpredictable on multiboot Windows setups,
and anything which meddles with the individual OSes might not
present the menu you were expecting.

Note2 - if you use the Macrium boot repair option from the CD,
it will remove custom lines such as the one above.

*******

This is a second section from my notes. I think normally
the bootmenupolicy is "Standard" rather than "Legacy".
There are three items in the "safebootalternateshell"
family for altering the booting into safe mode directly
behavior. Whatever I was doing at the time, I must have
found some other way to do it, when the web page I was
using wasn't delivering the results I wanted.

Didn't work....
bcdedit /set {default} safebootalternateshell yes

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

# From the rescue DVD... C: is System Reserved, D: is OS partition.

bcdedit /store C:\boot\BCD /enum

bcdedit /store C:\boot\BCD /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

A far as I'm concerned personally, the "displaybootmenu" plus
shortening the delay, is something you can leave behind for
customers to marvel at. Then some day, on the phone you can say
to them, "try pressing F8 when you see that black screen with
the one line that says Windows 10".

Note that you can also customize the title string for each
OS in that menu, to make them easier for humans to comprehend.
I have a dual Windows boot here, where it says something
stupid like "Wxx on Volume 4" and if you insert another
disk it might become "Wxx on Volume 5", and while I like
comedy and all, I can't tell what the **** I'm booting with
a labeling scheme like that. You can assign static labels
if you want, which might suit the situation better.

And a SafeModeWithoutNetworking would be a "trap" for any
remote control situations. If I were you, I'd experiment
with the various modes in your own lab first, to figure out
which ones are duds from a practical perspective.

Other than using msconfig.exe, probably the easiest way to reboot into
safe mode (which assumes you are already in a Windows session and want
to get into safe mode) is to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to get the sign-on screen
and then Shift+click on the Power button. You still have to roam
through the boot-time wizards to finally get Windows 10 to reboot into
safe mode.

While the above article alludes to the command-line approach, the
following article is more clear:

https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-forc...e-mode-2625163

Basically you are adding a boot-time option into the BCD (Boot
Configuration Data, a binary database) which is what msconfig.exe does,
too. The problem is that you'll always be booting into safe mode
(because you made it the default image selection) until you overtly
disable the boot-time option.
Sorry my mistake it is Shift Click instead of right click as I said.

Any time you see the power icon



I get shutdown and restart. :'(


I have no idea what he's talking about, either.
