To access the Boot Manager of your system, please press the key combination Shift-F8 during the boot process. Select the desired Safe Mode to start your PC.

Note
The Shift-F8 only opens the Boot Manager when it is pressed in an exact time frame. Therefore, it might take several attempts to access the Boot Manager this way.

Alternatively, the Safe Mode can also be launched directly from Windows or via the Windows System Configuration Utility described in the following video or in the text below.

    4) Enable Safe Mode
    In this mode, the operating system is started with the bare minimum of installed drivers and only the main Windows functions are used.

    5) Enable Safe Mode with Networking
    In this mode, also the network drivers are started.

    6) Enable Safe Mode with Command Prompt
    In this mode, the operating system is started in text mode. This mode requires knowledge of computer commands and is, therefore, more suitable for professional users.

  7. 7. Select an option by pressing one of the numbers or function keys (F1 – F9).
