New Windows operating systems such as Windows 8, Windows 10 and Server 2012 boots very quickly and the time to press F8 key to access Safe Mode is not so easy.

Hence, there are two methods to enable safe mode as listed below:

Option 1

1. Open command prompt with admin access.
2. In order to make Boot Manager visible, execute the command
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes
3. If you dont wish to stop displaying it, execute below command.
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu no

Option 2

1. Open Microsoft Configuration tool using command msconfig.
2. Under the Boot tab, check the Safe boot option and click OK.

You may now reboot and login to Safe Mode.
