Re: Safe mode?
In my situation, when Safe Mode is needed, it's usually because the login in screen can't be accessed. The diagnostic screens still appear and are usable, but if they can't resolve the issue then I need to access Safe Mode.
I've tried this several times now and Safe Mode just doesn't seem to work. MS tech notes say that Safe Mode must be enabled manually from a regular desktop or should be accessible from the Diagnostic Restart once the proper option is selected. If I can get to the regular desktop, then my problem is halfway solved in the first place and I can continue repairs, but Safe Mode from the Diag screen just doesn't seem to work.
As for the alternative boot media, the client usually doesn't have one as Win 10 was installed via download.
I haven't seen anything yet where I might be able to make a universal boot media USB or DVD, so I don't know if that's possible.
Even so, this is far too complicated when the simple F8 should not have been eliminated.
