Disclaimer: this article was published on our website two years ago. However, the methods described in this book have often ceased to be used. At the moment, the article has been updated and is up to date, everything written below has been verified on Windows 8.1. Updated.
Let's talk about three ways to get into safe mode:
- From the vikoristanny menu of the system - work if the system is enchanted and you want to select a client on the screen;
- Through the msconfig utility, you can only run it if it is possible;
- Removing the system update disk is a labor-intensive method and will help those who don’t have the “weight” to use.
1. Enabled in safe mode through the system’s power supply
This is the simplest and best option. It works regardless of whether you have increased your account with your cloud account or not. Point your mouse at the system menu and, holding down the Shift key, select “Re-enable”.
After a short refresh, the system update menu will appear. An alternative to launching this menu is to type the command line command:
Here we have the “Diagnostics” section. Let's go along the path "Diagnostics" - "Additional parameters" - "Additional parameters".
As a result, we will be presented with a window of Vantagement parameters with a detailed description of what we can remove after re-enabled Windows.
Click “Restart” and select the key appropriate to the required parameters:
- F4 – to start the ovenless mode;
- F5 – to launch the safe mode from the settings of edge drivers;
- F6 – similar, only after the additional command row.
As a result, Windows 8.1 will start using Safe Mode.
In order to return to the default Windows mode, you just need to restart the system.
2. Enter Safe Mode through the System Configuration Utility
You can use Safe Mode in another way, which involves logging into Windows 8 cloud storage. To start configuration settings, open Search, enter and run the utility.
Go to the “Enchantment” tab and check the box opposite the safe mode.
You can also select the type of ovenless mode:
- Minimal – this is normal safe mode;
- Another shell is a safe mode with the support of the command line;
- Merezha is a safe mode due to the importance of edge drivers.
After selecting the required backup option, click OK and restart your computer. As a result, you will automatically switch to safe mode.
If you restart your computer again, you can turn on safe mode again, and so on. To return to normal system settings, open msconfig and uncheck the box, click OK and restart the system.
3. Disc upgrade
There are two simpler ways to enable safe mode when the system is running. Why should you work if Windows 8 doesn’t start up and the Shift+F8 keys don’t work? At what point do you need an update disk, which you, as a preparatory agent, created in the past? No? Then it is necessary to carry out the activities according to the scheme described below.
Creating a Windows 8 update disk is very simple - the standard installation package includes a creation utility. Let's launch the program after adding programs, everything there is very simple and intuitive (the process of creating a valuable flash drive can be seen on the video at the end of the article). A single disk/flash drive is required to hold at least 256 MB of data.
Well, you have an update disk. You should be tempted to choose one of the provided keyboard layouts. After this, follow the path “Diagnostics” - “Additional parameters” - “Command row” (you will not get a direct message to set the system in safe mode).
Select the command line and enter:
bcdedit /set (globalsettings) advancedoptions true
After the notification about the successful completion of the operation is removed, close the command row and select “Continue”.
A long-awaited menu appears before us.
We choose those that are needed, and we are attracted.
And one point: after the descriptions of the above, Windows 8 will always introduce this menu. To turn the default mode on, enter the following command in the command line:
bcdedit /deletevalue (globalsettings) advancedoptions
We looked at three ways to launch the command line under Windows 8.1. I hope that they will help you turn around the system that has fallen into place, or solve the problems that have failed.
Finally, a video that shows everything that is written in this article, or in short.
Prepay our channel on Youtube. See you soon!
What is Safe Mode for starting the system on Windows 8 and 8.1?
In Safe Mode, Windows starts with an additional set of files and drivers.
Safe mode does not prevent the launch of programs that are required at startup, and installs only a basic set of drivers necessary to start Windows
And also for competently solving various problems that may arise when using the computer.
For example, problems with programs and drivers can be installed incorrectly or prevent Windows from starting correctly.
If the problem does not occur when you are in safe mode, you can turn off the parameters that will prevent problems from the list of possible reasons, and a basic set of device drivers.
In Windows 8, Safe Mode starts in a very specific way, which can confuse uninformed users who are new to the whole thing.
We also learned that there are different ways to enter Windows 8 safe mode.
Enter Windows 8 Safe Mode:
For further help, use the F8 button (or Shift+F8)
Adjusting the privacy settings in the system configuration when starting the OS
Changing the settings of the computer's computer when starting the OS
Vikoristuyuchi will own a flash drive with Windows 8

As you know, there were a lot of ways, and one of them, in a sing-song tone, “You’ll come.”
Using the additional F8 key, you can easily enter the safe mode of Windows 8. The disadvantage of this method is the fact that it simply does not work on some computers.
Also, after shutting down or restarting the computer, press the key combination Shift + F8 several times. You will see the entire menu, in which, using the additional arrow keys on the keyboard, you must select the “Safe Mode” item.
This simple and basic method does not work for everyone, but there is one trick that can be corrected.
When starting the OS, press the key combination “Win + X” on an additional keyboard and in the window that appears, select the “Command row (administrator)” item.
Then enter the command “bcdedit /set (default) bootmenupolicy legacy” and press “Enter”. When this happens, you will receive a notification about the success of the specified command.
Now you can calmly restart your computer and press the F8 key to enter the menu for selecting backup options.
Since previously the combination Shift+F8 did not work like F8, now there will be no usual problems with entering Safe Mode.
If you want to change the default settings of the OS, enter the command “bcdedit /set (default) bootmenupolicy standard” in the command line.
Another way transfers changes to the privacy settings.
This is a good effective method, but in some cases it may turn out to be a problem (if the computer is seriously malfunctioning and the OS is unable to launch). Press the combination Win + R and enter the msconfig command.
What has appeared is consistent with the proposal about re-engaging the system. After rebooting, the computer will start in safe mode.
Please pay attention to the fact that the launch of this mode will be subject to delays, and you will not remove the rule from the item “Safe Mode”, the settings in the settings of the settings.
Obov'yazkovo is worth earning!
This method can be used in case of serious damage to the computer, as long as starting the OS is not difficult.
You will need a good flash drive with Windows 8, so you can use it to update the OS. If you don’t have any flash drives at hand, don’t worry, they can be easily created.
Burn Windows 8 to a USB flash drive using Rufus.
This program enjoys great popularity among hobbyists. It has a simple and sensible interface, is not cluttered with unnecessary additional capabilities, and miraculously copes with its direct task - writing an OS image to a flash drive.
The Rufus program does not require installation; once installed, you can run it and use it immediately. You can enchant Rufus by let's get it done.
After starting the program, you will get headaches.
Before writing Windows 8/8.1 to a flash drive, you need to do some setup. In the "Appliances" row, you must select a flash drive that is already connected to the computer on which you plan to burn the OS image.
Other adjustments can be seen in the photo below.
Next time you need to select an OS image. To do this, click on the disk icon and select the location where you want to save images from Windows 8/8.1.
After this we check the correctness of all adjustments. What you need to check before recording:
The correct carrier has been selected (either empty or with files that can be deleted)
Selected NTFS file system
Varto tick opposite the item "Create a new disk"
Finally there is the ISO image parameter
The image of the base OS is specified
After the remaining verification, you can print out the procedure for writing Windows 8 to a flash drive by pressing the “Start” button.
The Rufus program will tell you about the formatting of a large device that you need to use. Once the program has finished, you will receive a notification.
We press the “Close” button and create a private Windows 8 flash drive for installation on the computer.
However, CONTINUE..
We insert the created USB flash drive into the computer and run from it. In the window for choosing a date and time, click “Next”. When the installation window appears, click “Update the system”.
Then go to the “Diagnostics” section.
Below is the section “Additional parameters”. At the end of the day, we have already been wasted by using the most advanced methods, but you may be less likely to compare with others. Let’s move on to the “Command Row” section.
Enter the command "bcdedit /set (globalsettings) advancedoptions true" and press "Enter".
Then we close the command line and click on the “Continue” button. The system will restart and appear on the screen as we already know at the end, press the F4 button and enter Windows Safe Mode
It is possible to appear after skin damage to the computer. Therefore, after troubleshooting, enter the command “bcdedit /deletevalue (globalsettings) advancedoptions” in the command line and you will not be able to select settings.
I think this information will help you troubleshoot problems in Windows 8 and 8.1.
Good luck, Friends!
If you are experiencing problems with the operation of your computer, or if the operating system is not properly protected, you can go into safe mode and try to solve the problem that caused the computer to become inoperative.
Unfortunately, entering safe mode in Windows 8 is not as easy as it was in earlier versions of the operating system. There are plenty of koristuvachs to work with the standard pressure of F8 or Shift+F8. As the testers say, this is due to the importance of the operating system itself.
Therefore, I will recognize a number of methods that will help you enter safe mode on a computer with the Windows 8 operating system installed.
For additional system configuration
For this purpose we press the combination Win+X. A window will open for commands that are frequently used, select “Viconati” from the list.
In the “Open” field, write msconfig and click “OK”.
The window will open "System configuration". Go to the tab and check the Vantage options "Safe Mode". If you place a marker next to the "Minimal" field, the default mode will be selected; in the field "Insha obolonka"- for additional help from the command line; in the "Merezha" field - due to the importance of edge drivers. Select the desired type of attraction, most often the selection is minimal, click “Set” and “OK”.
This information will be available at the end. When you select , the computer will immediately restart and enter Safe Mode. If you want to end the work with all open programs, press “Exit without re-invitation”. In this case, continue working on your computer, and when you finish, you can calmly restart it.
After you operate your computer in Safe Mode, repeat all instructions in the window. "System configuration" uncheck the box "Safe Mode", click “OK”. If you can’t do anything, then when the computer is re-enabled, it goes into safe mode.
To do this, press the button on the side panel.
Show up immediately "Vibir dii". Click on the “Diagnostics” option.
In the coming year we will click on the point "Parameters of Vantage".
A list of possible parameters will appear in the next window. Press button "Rezavantazhit".
After re-engaging, a list of attraction options consisting of 9 items will appear. To select the required one, press the required key from F1 to F9.
F4 – to enable the emergency safe mode, F5 – with the support of edge drivers, you will have access to the Internet, F6 – with the support of the command row.
Then the computer will switch to the selected mode. To get out of this you just need to restart your computer.
Do you read the article and wonder how, by saying, I can enter safe mode with the operating system, because it won’t start?! Then there is the matter itself.
If Windows 8 simply won’t start, you can try pressing F8 or Shift+F8. I read on the Internet that for Asus laptops the F9 or Shift+F9 key is used, for Acer – Alt+F10, Acer Aspire – Ctrl+F9, Samsung – Shift+F4. You can try these combinations, since there is no fruit loss, let’s move on to more specific methods.
Vikorista disk update
First option - If you used these foods, you created the system update disk earlier. If you have such a disk or flash drive, you will be in good hands.
Another option is that you don’t have such a disk, so let’s go to a friend who has Windows 8 installed on his computer and create it. You can read about how to create a system update disk for Windows 8 in the article below.
We connect a device, disk or flash drive to the computer. Now you need to go into the BIOS and change the priority of devices so that the disk or flash drive we need is installed. How to do it is written in the article Installing Windows 8 from a flash drive.
After the system starts using the flash drive, you will be prompted to select the language. Click on your contact number.
At the next window, select “Diagnostics”.
In the additional parameters window, select "Command line". With our help we can reach a safe mode.
Now we select the required account entry.
If you have a password, enter it and click “Continue”.
The command row window opens. Enter the command
bcdedit /set (globalsettings) advancedoptions true
and press “Enter”. I may show up by writing "Operation completed successfully". Close the command row and press “Continue.”
After which the window will open "Parameters of Vantage". As described above, press the F4, F5 or F6 key and the computer will start in safe mode.
If this menu does not appear, write in the command row
bcdedit /deletevalue (globalsettings) advancedoptions
Vikoristuyuchi will own a flash drive or disk
You will need a valuable flash drive or disk on which images of the Windows 8 operating system are recorded. Insert it into the computer. If you want to go into the BIOS, press the F2 or Del key, and change the priority in the BIOS so that the system starts from our flash drive.
Now it may appear at the end, as soon as the operating system is installed. Select your language and press “Day”.
In the next window, select the item "System Upgrade".
Windows 8 Safe Mode Having called, it was expected that a large number of customers would have a new operating system. Basically the answer is this: “How can I get into Windows 8 safe mode if it’s impossible to unlock?” “Why did you press the F8 key during the hour of obsession?” And in fact, now, in order to go to the additional settings for privacy, and then enter safe mode, instead of F8 you can use the keyboard connection Shift+F8, otherwise it is practically impossible to use.
The simplest answer to this question is to sound like this, but here is my thought to friends: “Retailers have put a lot of effort into automatically updating the system that will run on you, since Windows 8 for any reason seems to be normal.” And this once again confirms the fact that the system is divided primarily for tablet computers. I won’t deny that the system’s automatic update function can be done manually and starts during the most common problems in Windows 8, otherwise the installed installation will not always be deleted and we can show you such a notification “The automatic update method could not update the computer " What should you do?
And then, friends, I would like you to return to our article, in which we described all the ways of updating Windows 8, for example - updating using an additional update point, updating Windows 8 without deleted files from the client (Refresh Your PC) or for the help of the previously created image and so given. Only this article has a safe regime, for which we decided to write a definitive article and the axis is ready, we submit it to your court, and on the beginning of the article, we will publish one of the sheets that arrived in our mail.
Windows 8 Safe Mode
Admin, give me feedback on the question, because I don’t know on the Internet - how to get into Windows 8 Safe Mode How come my sister-in-law isn’t interested?You have a good article on your site that describes all the ways to update Windows 8, but you didn’t finish it. I have tried all the methods that you recommend in your article, but I have not improved my diet. The situation is like this.
Windows 8 quickly stopped being attractive on my laptop. Several times the machine itself started up to restart, but did not help. I have a Windows 8 update disc that I prepared for the system. Having tried to become attracted to him. The menu has a special update “Select Actions”, trying to set the system update to a standstill, but as soon as I select the update point and press Next and Done, a black screen appears and that’s it.
I'm still trying to get into Windows 8 safe mode like this. I'll go back to the update disk again, select Diagnostics ->Advanced settings ->, and then go to Settings settings (safe mode and so on), otherwise I don't have them,
You yourself are surprised, the rest of the story is in the command line.
Having tried many times to enter safe mode using the additional keyboard connection Shift+F8, but also to no avail.
As I have already said, I carefully read your article on the update of Windows 8, but did not create the new image of the update (lin bulo). As I understand, I have now lost the ability to update Windows 8 without deleted files from the account (Refresh Your PC). First of all, I want to try to go into safe mode in Windows 8 and uninstall all installed programs and drivers, maybe the problem is due to the presence of data in them?
- Well, friends, let's first take a look at this food - How to put Windows 8 into safe mode on the system that works. We are also thinking about how to put Windows 8 into safe mode, since our family is not interested at all and the automatic system update feature did not accomplish anything.
Method No. 1
If Windows 8 is normally locked in, unless you need to go into Safe Mode for any reason, that's it. While pressing the Shift key, select the Rezavantazheniya item,
Additional parameters ->
Vantage options –>
Rezavantazhite
The parameters and attractions are revealed. Use the keys with numbers F1-F9 to enter safe mode we need to press the F4 key
And, be kind, I will be attracted to the Windows 8 safe mode.
Method No. 2
Open the command line under the administrator name
I enter the command: msconfig.
We enter the system configuration, select the Privacy tab, and select Privacy Settings – Safe Mode. Zastosuvati ta OK.
Method No. 3
Another way to put Windows 8 into safe mode is to edit the BCD configuration data file. In this method, the F8 keys have their own meaning. Open the command line under the administrator name and enter the command:
bcdedit /deletevalue (current) bootmenupolicy
If you receive a settlement, enter
Let's re-invent ourselves. When using Windows 8, you often press the F8 key and the already known additional activation options appear, select the mode that you need.
When you select everything and go back to the new menu, enter the command in the command row under the administrator name:
bcdedit /set (current) bootmenupolicy standard
Method No. 4
There are still changes to the BCD configuration data file. Open the command line under the administrator name and enter the command:
You can also select the safe mode.
If you want to turn everything the way it was, open the command row under the administrator name and enter the command:
bcdedit /set (bootmgr) displaybootmenu no Method No. 4 or before How to switch to safe mode without Windows 8 being used Perhaps you have a serious problem and your obsession with Windows 8 will end in peace. Automatic updating does not help the system start, and simply updating the system does not help.
So you might want to consider vikorizing Windows 8 Safe Mode.
In this case, we will have to quickly use the capabilities of Windows 8, otherwise we will not be able to do without an update disk or installation disk of Windows 8. For example, a Windows 8 update disc can be prepared in just 5 minutes, read our article - “Windows 8 Update”
Next, download the computer from the update disk or Windows 8 installation disk. Let's press on.
Updating the system.
Diagnostics
Additional parameters.
As a matter of fact, if you have downloaded the update from the disk, we already know the download settings on a daily basis. Select Command Row. Enter:
We are leaving the command row. Printable Continue (exit and use Windows 8).
Safe mode is desired.
If you want to lock the system in primary mode, then go back to the command line and enter the command:
bcdedit /deletevalue (globalsettings) advancedoptions
Early and late in the day, it gets rid of all the koristuvachs. Well, yes, we still want to stop running the operating system in safe mode regardless of whether the current version of Windows 8 or the old Vista is installed on the computer. However, since everything is clear now that the OS has been updated, there are plenty of backers who can tinker with the new gift from Microsoft. Let's take a look at how easy and quick it is to run Windows 8 on your computer in safe mode.
Method #1: Launch from the Settings panel
In order to quickly use this method and enter safe mode, press the Live button in the “Options” panel, and then, using the SHIFT keyboard, select the “Re-enable” option on the screen:
After that, at the end of “Select Options”, select the “Diagnostics” tab by clicking the left mouse button, and then select “Additional parameters”:
Next time we will select the new system window of the “Attraction Options” tab:
As a result, Windows 8 prompts you to launch Safe Mode on your PC. We use this proposition and firmly emboss the “Re-Enter” button on the screen:
As a result, the PC will become re-engaged. When the system is turned on again, you will see a number of options to turn it on, including Safe Mode. However, there will be 3 options:
- standard (turned on by pressing the F4 button on the keyboard);
- By launching edge drivers (activated by the F5 button);
- with a working command row (selected with the F6 button).
We select the parameter we need and press the corresponding button on the keyboard. As a result, Windows 8 will be restarted in safe mode.
Method No. 2: Start from the command row
Anyone who would like to use safe mode for Windows 7 or any other OS like Microsoft should know that you can login to this setting through the command line. You can use it quickly in Windows 8, however, the medical features of this work.
The first thing you need to do is launch the command row. And here you can speed up using different methods. The easiest way to do this is to press the hotkeys and X on the keyboard, and then select the option in the menu to enter the command row with administrator rights. Once the command line is complete, enter bcdedit /deletevalue (current) bootmenupolicy into the new value:
Please note that if a parameter appears incorrect, the system will write a special notification in the command line. If it didn’t show up, that means everything is ready and you can restart your computer. As a result, at the hour when Windows 8 is about to start, press F8 and in the familiar system window, select the necessary option to put the system in safe mode:
We are very grateful that they have given you safe mode that you will no longer need, do not forget to enable it by entering the parameter bcdedit /set (current) bootmenupolicy standard into the command line.
Method No. 3: Ask for help adjusting the “System Configuration”
To launch Safe Mode on computers running Windows 8 in this way, you first need to select one of these actions:
Take a quick look at the Viconati program:
To do this, press the R key on the keyboard. Next to the right, enter the msconfig parameter in the “Open” row and press OK:
Vikoristati command row:
We launch the command line (div. method No. 2), enter the msconfig parameter into it and press Enter on the keyboard:
Whichever option you choose, the system may open at the end of “System Configuration”. In the “Vanity Options” section, select “Safe Mode” and click OK:
As a result, Windows 8 will need to be re-enabled. We, of course, cannot see (why it was so hard) and the PC is being reinstalled. The result of such actions is simple - the OS will start in safe mode without any adjustments. Please note that if you need to urgently update the operating system, you will have to go to “System Configuration” again. For this option, it will be enough to uncheck the “Safety Mode” item and save settings using the OK button.
Method No. 4: Run a backup disk or USB flash-card from Windows 8
If, for whatever reason, you were unable to launch Safe Mode on your computer using the previous methods, but if you have saved the installation CD/DVD or flash drive with the OS, you can solve the problem using them. Respectfully, this and that other type of life will have a similar experience. You can run Windows 8 on your PC in safe mode using the backup disk.
To do this, we insert it into the drive and restart the PC. Then we go to the BIOS, select download from CD/DVD and launch the OS installation program. Next, enter the settings (word, date, hour, etc.) and check until the following appears on the screen at the end:
Now, to open Safe Mode on your computer, click “System Update” and select it through the following steps:
- The "Select Actions" window means "Diagnostics";
- Select "Additional parameters";
- Click on the “Command Row” tab;
- Enter bcdedit /set (globalsettings) advancedoptions true into the command line, press Enter and close the tab;
- The new age is under pressure to “Continue.”
As a result, the system will restart in safe mode. To turn the operation into the cob mill, enter the value bcdedit /deletevalue (globalsettings)advancedoptions in the command line.
Method No. 5: Running additional hotkeys
Why didn’t we disapprove of this method? Because it is not possible to use it in order to enable safe mode on all computers with Windows 8. If you install UEFI BIOS or SSD on a PC, you cannot install it, but with the standard BIOS mode this method works without interruptions.
If your situation is the same, we say that safe mode can be launched instantly by pressing the OS by pressing F8 on the keyboard or by connecting the button with the Shift key. If you get stuck immediately, the standard screen will appear at the end, as in method No. 2, from which you can select another option for installing the system.
As you know, safe mode can be launched in Windows 8 in different ways. Just choose a method for yourself that suits you - and forward from the world to reality!
