Today we are going to explain how to start in safe mode windows 10, a very useful function to diagnose and fix problems with Windows. It has been present for many years, but with Windows 8 and Windows 10, it has become more difficult to access this mode.
Whereas formerly the normal way to start Windows in safe mode was to bang the F8 key during startup and then choose it in the menu, nowadays this menu is not always present, and Windows starts up too long to give you time. Luckily, the safe mode is still there, only more hidden.
