Pavilion access safe mode

I'm unable to access safe mode oh Hp Pavilion. Reboot and pressing F8 guard take me to the login screen. How can I get to advanced startup options?

Hello

Here is another method to boot safe mode.

Load windows normally.

Hold down the Windows key and press R

In the run box, type msconfig and press ENTER.

In the System Configuration window, select the Startup tab, and then enter a check the box next to 'Safe Boot".

Click apply and then OK to save the changes and then restart the computer - it should just start mode safe.

Note: To exit Safe Mode, restart the System Configuration window, select the Startup tab and uncheck the box against Safe Boot - click on apply and Ok before restarting.

Kind regards

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, I understand that your PC starts with a black screen. I will certainly help you to question.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:

    Method 1:

    First try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Startup Repair is a Windows Recovery tool that can fix certain system problems that might be preventing Windows to start. It scans your computer for the problem and attempt to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

    Startup Repair is a recovery tools in the System Recovery Options menu. This set of tools is on your computer's hard disk and on the Windows installation disc.

    1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer by using the power button on the computer.

    2. do one of the following:

    o If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    o If your computer has multiple operating systems, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

    3. in the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select repair your computer and press ENTER. (If your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer doesn't understand no repair preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has disabled the.)

    4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

    5. in the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    The link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2:

    Try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. place the Windows 7 installation discin the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    3. click on repair your computer.

    4. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

    5. in the System Recovery Optionsdialog box, click command prompt.

    6. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  • Unable to access Safe Mode in Windows 8

    I am typing this query using my other computer. Tonight, an installation of the failed pilot, and for some reason, my computer will not start normally in Windows 8. Whenever he tries, it shows me this error message:

    System_Thread_Extension_Not_Handled (AtihdW86.sys)
    Now, for some reason, Windows is not recognizing that the computer does not start and doesn't give me access to Safe Mode. I tried brewing F8 and SHIFT + F8 or F11 repeatedly on multiple attempts, and he still insists on trying to start normally. I don't have a recovery drive as it was a downloaded purchase. Using the Windows 7 installation disc, I had, I thought he'd let start me in safemode, but she even doesn't let me do.
    In the past, Safe Mode would have been a simple way to restore this computer. But I can't do yet, because I can't even mode without failure. It is a serious problem with Windows 8.

    Hello

    The F8 Safe Mode option has been "abandoned" to win 8...

    See if you can access the command prompt with your Windows 7 disc using the method to win 8 below... the menu choices can be a little different, that I don't have a Win 7 disk handy to check...

    1) start from the Windows 8 DVD
    2) click Next
    (3) select repair your computer

    (4) select troubleshooting
    (5) select Advanced Options
    (6) select command prompt

    (7) type - Bcdedit/set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu Yes (note the spaces)
    (8) type - out

    (9) restart

    (10) to the start screen, select F8
    (11) to select Safe mode with networking

  • Toshiba NB200 - startup problem (Windows XP) - unable to access safe mode

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba NB200 with Windows XP. When I turned on, it would not start past the first screen and I couldn't make F8 safe mode.
    The only thing I can do is go into the BIOS Setup, and that's all (press F12).

    The BIOS recognizes the hard drive. Then, I created a USB stick to boot from and that made me a C: quick MSDOS having first changed the BIOS to read the USB first and also updated the BIOS (Phoenix v1.6).

    I'm not clear as to what I do then in the folder c: prompt will not let me run windows and shows just the files on the USB key.
    Should I copy the files from windows to the USB port? In addition, how will I know if the hard drive has failed and that it is unrecoverable (I hope not)?

    Any guidance welcome!
    Thank you

    Hello

    Eventually, there is no Windows OS on the HARD drive and therefore you can not start safe mode or the OS.
    You have a recovery disk or you did backup the image of Toshiba on the USB flash key?

    If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall the OS of the own Windows XP CD.
    You could build a clean Windows XP USB flash stick that can reinstall the OS.
    I think that this should be possible since you started the laptop backpack.

    Here's a nice instruction how to do this:

  • Access to the Safe Mode on Windows 8

    Hello

    I understand sometimes through troubleshooting or for other reasons, there is a need to access safe mode when using windows 8. What many people do not know is Windows 8 does not use F8 at startup to access the secure mode. It needs to be done inside of Windows 8, himself. The screenshots below will show you how to access safe mode when you use Windows 8.

    On the startup screen, click settings:

    Then click on change settings for PC:

    Click gernal on the left side of the page:

    On the right side scroll advanced boot:

    The computer then stops, and you want to click on troubleshoot:

    Click on advanced options:

    Click startup parameters:

    You will then see a page that lists information, click Restart on the right:

    You will then choose which environment you want to connect to:

    I hope this information is useful

  • Access to safe mode

    I have a refurbished Dell Optiplex 745 desktop computer. I'm with Windows 7 Pro installed. I then upgraded to Windows to 10, which subsequently installed the first update the operating system. Ten days ago, I received a message that some app had caused a problem and I lost all the files on my desktop, except those by default. I decided to restore from a backup and restored the original computer W 7 Pro. No problem, I thought. I have only to connect to the internet and to spend again at 10 w. problem, it is, I can't connect to the internet. There is no problem with the internet itself that the other computers connect normally.

    I've been on Microsoft that were helpful. The procedure recommended by them requires the safe boot mode. My problem is that I can't. At the start, I have two options - Setup f2 and f12 Boot Menu. None of them has a Safe Mode option.

    Microsoft advises whether Dell or Dell Community assistance to allow me to access Safe Mode boot. I should add that, although I'm not a complete novice with computers, I'm far from an expert. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Once this is sorted (I hope), I think I'll stick with Windows 7!

    F8 disappears to always WIN10 improved 7.  F8 applies to WIN7.  Installed at the factory is destroyed by the upgrade.  Win7 does not have native network drivers.  If it worked before and is not now it's scorched earth requiring malware wipe all re install.

  • Cannot access windows 8 in safe mode

    running on windows 8.1 I can't access safe mode or safe mode with network.  The steps I used are: shift + reset button, clicked on troubleshoot, click options in advance, clicked on startup parameters, restart clicked, start settings pop up clicked either f4 safe mode or safe mode with network f5. The computer restarts but only in normal mode. Tried to f4 and f5 more than 10 times and it never goes into safe mode when the computer restarts. I tried the command prompts: bcdedit/set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy also {bootmgr} displaybootmenu Yes. These options allow me to choose Safe mode, but once the computer is restarted, it starts in normal mode.

  • F8 key will not open safe mode

    1. the F8 key does not (safe mode) when the computer is restarted.

    2. the Microsoft sound does not play at the start and stop of all other sounds functions work perfectly.

    SYSTEM

    o Windows XP (home edition)

    o IE 8

    o MS-DOS [version 5.1.2600]

    o Phoenix Award BIOS installed 4/2006 [last updated 11/29/04]

    o Custom built computer, 5 years

    o no backup is available for crtical/discrete programs or the operating system OEM

    That someone has suggestions for the system difficulty and that everything remains alive.

    I think you need to determine if the problem of access to the SafeMode because that the F8 key does not access safe mode menu or the computer does not start in safe mode.

    In the past with a Microsoft Wireless Multimedia keyboard, I met the situation where the function keys had to be activated by pressing the CAPS LOCK key. This was to be done whenever the computer is started. This is done using the F8 key safe mode access impractical because you must press the lock key when the system is unable to receive instructions from keyboard and always press the F8 key until the system has progressed beyond the point where the ability to access the security mode is still available.  You can't do it.

    http://jtsang.MVPs.org/flock.html

    The easiest way to access the safe mode becomes to connect using a wired keyboard ps2 if you cannot access the mode without failure of the normal mode. To access the normal mode by selecting Start, run, type msconfig and press ENTER. Choose the Startup tab and let secure boot. Click apply and then click OK and restart the computer. To return to a normal startup, you uncheck the safe boot option.

  • Computer bluescreens and falls down, can't use safe mode or the repair of the system

    Original title: does not work for me repair system
    always do, the blue screen

    Hello, 55adan

    Since you are not able to access Safe Mode or perform a system repair, you will need to use your system recovery discs or Windows installation disc to reinstall Windows.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

    Please note that if you use a recovery disk, the contents of hard disks is cleared if you need to connect the drive to a working computer down all the files you need.

    If you have a Windows install disk, if you choose that a custom installation and DO NOT format the drive, your old files must all be placed in the folder C:\Windows.old. To protect against data loss, it is always recommended to recover all the data you want the drive first well.
