NCC10281982B Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 I have been having problems installing the latest Nvidia drivers on my rebuild of W10. WHQL my ass! I have been getting a lot of blank screens. In order to avoid reinstalling windows again I would like to access safemode, like old school safe mode. The startup options I have read about do not do what I want. What is the trick/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Windows + R keys to access the Run command, type in 'msconfig' in the box, and press Enter. Then go to the Boot tab, put a checkmark for Safe boot, and then hit OK. Either restart from the box that pops up or exit without restart if you still need to do some stuff before hand. Just be sure to turn off Safe boot once you're done in Safe Mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp9801 Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 It more than likely won't work with a UEFI BIOS and an SSD due to the startup speed of Windows 10, and even 8/8.1. Shift + Restart will work, however. Do that, go to Troubleshoot, Advanced options, Startup Settings, and Restart. Then go to Safe Mode from there.

Phil Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah, keyboard shortcuts for safe mode are a thing of the past. As for a 10 install rebooting to 7, when that happened to me, it was because 7 wasn't fully updated. I waited for the updates to catch up and then 10 installed without a hitch.
