HOW TO ENABLE F8 SAFE MODE BOOT MENU IN WINDOWS 10
HOW TO ENABLE F8 SAFE MODE BOOT MENU IN WINDOWS 10
I get asked all the time if it’s possible to re-enable the “F8” Boot Menu on computers that are running Windows 10… The answer is YES… But inherently Microsoft has deactivated the “F8” Boot Menu (which has made entering Safe Mode more difficult)… So here’s my quick step by step instructions that will let you enable “F8” safe mode boot menu in Windows 10… The steps are as follows:
STEP 1: Open an elevated command prompt. To do so, follow these steps:
Right click on the Start Menu icon appearing in the bottom left corner of your screen. Now you will see a number of options.
Out of these options, you need to select Command Prompt (Admin). This is actually your elevated command prompt.
Now you will be prompted to allow the application to access your PC. Click Yes.
STEP 2: Write the command as given below on the elevated command prompt you just opened.
bcdedit / set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
STEP 3: After writing this command, press Enter. You will see a message saying that “The operation completed successfully”.
STEP 4: Now reboot your PC and keep on pressing F8 key during this booting process. Now you will see some boot options. Here you can enable F8 safe mode boot menu in Windows 10. That’s all.
So this was my simple step by step method to enable F8 safe mode boot menu in Windows 10… You can also use this process on other Windows operating systems too, if you’d like… However, if you want to reverse the process anytime, you need to open the elevated command prompt again and write the command as given below:
bcdedit / set {default} bootmenupolicy standard
This command will enable the standard booting mode on your Windows operating system. I hope this has answered everybody’s questions about “How to enable F8 safe mode boot menu in Windows 10”… If you have any questions regarding this or any questions regarding Windows 10, feel free to ask me…
