Hello,

My PC is on the fritz, it's stuck on the Windows startup screen (screenshot below).



So I managed to access the BIOS by tapping the delete key, and then I accessed these menus:



And there I've navigated everywhere and I haven't found anything titled "safe mode" or anything like that.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Safe mode is not accessible from there.

Boot into the advanced recovery options using method 1 on this page: Windows Advanced Recovery Options.
The principle is to restart on the page where you're asked for the password, with the icon at the bottom right and holding the shift key.

If you cannot reach the window where Windows asks for passwords, due to a freeze or crash beforehand...
Turn off the computer twice during the Windows loading.
It will enter repair mode which will also give access to the advanced recovery options.
(If booting into the advanced recovery options is not possible, you need to create a USB drive to boot from, you have a link on the previous page for that).

More help:

Once you're there, go to Troubleshoot, you can then try:

From the settings menu, restart Windows and go into safe mode, from there you can uninstall a problematic application such as your antivirus.
Create a new administrator user, see: How to create a new administrator user on Windows
Check if it behaves the same way there.
If not better, try uninstalling the latest update if a recent one has been installed that may be causing the issue, see: Uninstall Windows Updates

Lastly, go back to the troubleshooting options and then:
  • run a system restore to revert to a previous configuration of Windows. This is the option Reset this PC.
  • Reset Windows 10 (this keeps the data but removes the applications).

Good evening Malekal_morte-,

Thank you for the clarifications!

Okay, I had already tried to restart it 3 times in a row during the Windows loading, I will insist.

Have a nice evening!
