Enable Safe Mode in Windows 8 (legacy style)

Hi all.
I was looking around and found this gem.
Run Command prompt as Admin and type (copy/paste the following line in command prompt):
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
press enter. Safe mode can now be accessed using f8 (NORAMLLY) at the boot screen.
to revert:
command prompt as admin:
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard
Press enter.
Alternatively, you can enter this at ANY ADMIN COMMAND PROMPT. So, if you can't boot your system, but can get to command prompt, you can use this.

Hi,
To get out of Safe Mode, you can try this:
Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools> System Configuration >
Boot Tab > UNCHECK Safe Boot
Then Restart.
If the you still fail to get out of safe mode, considering that corrupted drivers cause your issue:
Please open Device manager, and remove drivers about Video, audio, Network adapter, Bluetooth and additional USB device and try to reboot to see what's going on.

How do I get out of safe mode in windows 8.1

I entered Safe Mode in my Envy TS 15 running windows 8.1 to fix some issues with my Norton software and now I can't figure out how to exit back to normal mode. Internet is shut off in safe mode (even though I selected safe mode with networking) so I can run any of the Help & Support resolutions. Anyone know how to do this?
This question was solved.

Nanna,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Try / Consider
Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools> System Configuration >
Boot Tab > UNCHECKSafe Boot
Restart/ Reboot the computer and log in
OR
Another path to the same place:
·         Start the notebook and let it start up in Safe Mode
·         Log in
·         Windows key + R(Opens the Run Window)
·         Type msconfig
·         Opens the System Configuration Menu > Click Boottab
·         REMOVE the tick next to Safe Boot > Applyto save
·         Restart/ Reboot the computer
==========================================================================
In addition, you might make sure your security router is set to
Encryption type AES
and
Security type WPA2-Personal
==========================================================================
For later, this is real useful to have and it is easy to set up. I have done this.
Safe Mode can easily be added to the boot screen!

These options might be dangerous. If someone who knew nothing about the program with this function and he uses this program, it might hurt his system. Since this, it would be better not to post this code in the forum to avoid someone tried the code and hurt
his system.
Thanks for your understanding.

Why is Firefox running in Safe Mode in Windows Start, ever since updating to 6.0.2.4?

just answer the question please...... and tell me why since upgrade approximately 2 weeks ago to 6.0.2.4, is Firefox running in Safe Mode and why? Also, my menu bar completely changed and all my menu preferences disappeared... WHY? The menu bar went to a weak Yahoo format, and basically ousted my Google home page. Why?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
Do you get a Safe mode start window or is it only that the Firefox window looks different?

Stuck in safe mode on windows 8.1. and it is not recognizing my password, so i cant get into anywhere to sort it.

NORTON WERE DOING A REMOTE ASSIST, WHEN THEY HAD TO RESTART MY LAPTOP, BUT WHEN ASKED FOR MY USER NAME PASSWORD IT WAS SAYING EITHER YOUR U/NAME, OR P/WORD IS INCORRECT. SO NORTON COULDN'T HELP. SO I CONTACTED MICROSOFT TO GET A NEW PASSWORD WHICH
WAS EASIER THAN I THOUGHT. BUT WHEN I TRIED ENTERING IT, I WAS STILL GETTING THE SAME WRONG U,N OR P,WORD? "HELP" PLEASE....MY HEAD IS DONE IN AS NORTON WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT AND MICROSOFT ARE WANTING CLOSE TO £100 FOR DOING A REMOTE ASSIST.
SOMEONE PLEASE "HELP"ME OUT OF HERE!!!

Hi
Please refrain from using caps! looks like you are shouting.
You say that your machine is stuck in safe mode. when you boot does it go straight there?
Good read on accessing the advanced options and repairing your machine.

Firefox won't start (not even in Safe Mode) on Windows 7 x64

I am Running Windows 7 x64 and Firefox 3.6.15.
Since the day before yesterday I am unable to start Firefox. Even in Safe Mode it just won't start.
I click the Firefox icon, the mouse cursor changes to indicate the computer is doing something. After 3 seconds or so the mouse cursor again changes back to its default state. Nothing else happens.
The Task Manager in Windows shows me that an instance of firefox.exe is running, but I see no Firefox window.
Then if I again click to open Firefox, another firefox.exe instance starts, but again I see no Firefox window.
There isn't even a warning about one instance of Firefox already running.
What I have tried:
I have uninstalled Firefox, removed all the Firefox files and folders from c:\users\username\AppData\Local and Roamning. I re-downloaded the 3.6.15 installation package and re-installed.
No change.

I have the same problem.
The only Firefox version working is the 64bit nightly build 6.0a1. No 32Bit version of Firefox works!. Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer all work well.
Another Problem I have in this context is, that the Firefox Installer hangs in the tidy up step - even for the nightly 64Bit version. I have to kill the setup.exe process but the Installation seems to be completed.
Before my change to Win7 64Bit I had OpenText NFS Solo 14 installed on a 32Bit Windows7 and no Problems.
Is there a solution for this problem without uninstalling OpenText NFS Solo 14?
I need the NFS Server at work.

Firefox will not open even after update or in safe mode using windows button + R

Tried solitions given on site using IE. Firefox will not start at all, did latest update and tried safe mode start.
Only get box stating it has encounterd a problem and crashed. I only use firefox and have so many bookmarks I really don't want to uninstall and start over.

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

How to enable "persistent mode" in Windows failover cluster manager 2012?

In Windows Server 2008 R2 there was a checkbox named "Enable persistent mode" on a General tab in the Properties of a cluster resource.
In Windows Server 2012 that seems to have disappeared.
My cluster resource is a "generic script" resource (not that it makes any difference).
How do I enable "persistent mode" for a cluster resource in Windows Server 2012?
Thanks

Hi Marcus Griley,
Enabled by default for VM groups Option is hidden from GUI in 2012, you can use the specify the preferred owner of group to realize the same function, positively not come online
on a node that is not a possible owner. If no possible owner nodes are up, then the group will still failover to a node that’s not a possible owner, but it will not come online.
Preferred Owners in a Cluster

Set group FailBack policy:

I’m glad to be of help to you!

Unable to uninstall a program using safe mode in windows 8.1

Hi,
I tried to install nvedia Grapics Driver in windows 8.1, but it was neither installed properly instead it just made my display goes blank, just shows the mouse cursor thats it.
similar to this issue
http://www.eightforums.com/general-support/35869-windows-8-1-impossible-get-into-safe-mode.html
I log in to windows using safe mode and tried to uninstall the graphics driver it said that all dll's will be removed and I uninstalled it and restarted the windows, initially it got started but then within 2 mins it says those dll files are missing n gives
the same issue.
Then When I again login to safe mode, I see that the drivers are still showing installed don't know what to do now.
Can you give my any solutions.
As I'm facing alot of issue now.
Thanks,

Hi,
How did you uninstall the graphics drvier? From Devices manager or Programs and Features?
Please open Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features
And then, search for "NVIDIA Graphics Driver" and then select the "Change/Remove" button to begin the uninstall process.
Next, once the uninstall has completed, reboot Windows so that the other NVIDIA components can be removed as well.
If the issue still persists, since this driver that you recently installed caused problems with your PC, you can restore Windows back to an earlier point in time.

Firefox crashes on launch, including safe mode. Windows 7 64-bit.

Firefox crashes within 2-3 seconds of launch consistently. Safe mode does not alleviate problem. Operating system is Windows 7 64-Bit.
== Crash ID(s) ==
26a4fdfa-6683-4ee1-a660-ac0082100710
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; SLCC2; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0)

It looks like from what me and another volunteer think is that some binary modules are corrupt. A clean installation of Firefox would most likely fix it.

Again getting black screen after Exiting Safe Mode in Windows 8 as suggested by hp

I'm again getting black screen after entering safe mode after upgrade to Windows and exiting from safe mode but after exiting my laptop display was of 8.b but after some time it again went back to same black screen problem .I disabled Intel and amd hd 86graphics driver in safe mode.please help .

Hi there ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! I have looked into the issue you are having with your display Turning Black after entering Safe Mode. I found a document for you called Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot. It would be very helpful for me to know what has been done already so that I can narrow down what troubleshooting would be best for you. You mentioned in your post "again". Is it an intermittent issue? Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps, re-post with the results of the steps in the document, and any other troubleshooting steps you had tried and the results. Have a great day!

TS1717 I-tunes will not open even in safe mode on windows 7 32bit. A reload does not work either.

I-tunes stopped working on my Windows 7 32 bit computer. It will not open in safe mode or anything else. I even tried reinstalling and still nothing.

You're unlikely to get a reply. It's pretty much unused as far as I'm aware. You need to get a crash id outside of firefox for me to help. Press Start key + R and a dialog should open. in the textbox type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\submitted\
Now, open a few of the files and copy the code from each of them to this thread. I will then research your bug with the help of the Mozilla Crash Reporter.

My mac air won't start up.it is frozen right before the log on screen. It shut down fine the time before, what should I do? Does it have a safe mode like windows?

My Mac book air wont start up.it is freezing up right before the log on screen. It shut down properly. I cant figure out what could of caused this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Justin,
Are you getting to the Login screen? Or is freezing up on a blue screen? Are you still at the gray screen? Run any updates recently?
You can try Safe Boot/Mode and see if that does anything - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
The next step would be to try and verify/repair Disk Permissions, but you'll need access to another computer for DVD/CD sharing or an external DVD drive.

Trackpad USB Mouse not working in windows xp safe mode

I can't access my windows side, after fixing a series of problems with the windows recovery console. I can only access my windows login screen through safe mode. However, now my trackpad and USB(corded) mouse won't work, to login and finish fixing my windows xp pro side. The only advise I have been finding is to use a ps/2 connector for the mouse to work (don,t have one) or access the bios to enable the USB port (don't have bios). So I'm kind of stumped. Is there a way to enable a USB mouse to work in safe mode with windows recovery console or on the mac side or somehow enable the trackpad? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I do have Kaspersky installed, but it's a very annoying spyware by Baidu (the search engine in China) where the registry keys just couldn't be deleted under the Normal mode ....
Ok then, no offence.
In any case, thanks for the advice!
Hope it helps and good luck
