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.) -T |

These things "seem" to change a lot in 10. (I use to just use f8 at boot.) -T 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. https://i.postimg.cc/0NVZWSnj/f8-in-boot-menu.gif 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. Paul |

(I use to just use f8 at boot.) -T https://www.digitalcitizen.life/4-wa...ode-windows-10 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. -- 2018: The year we learn to play the great game of Euchre |
