By default, Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 have a new graphical environment for various recovery actions including an automatic repair engine due to which Microsoft has hidden the Safe Mode feature. When the system does not boot, it tries to analyze and fix startup problems automatically on its own without user assistance. However, you might need to enter Safe Mode for several purposes, i.e. to troubleshoot some issue with drivers and apps. In this tutorial, we will review three simple ways to get the Safe Mode feature back in Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.
1.Press Win + R shortcut keys on your keyboard. The Run dialog will appear on the screen. Type msconfig and press Enter.
2.The 'System Configuration' application will appear on the screen.
Switch to the 'Boot' tab, select your Windows 8.1 entry and tick the 'Safe mode' checkbox as shown in the picture below:
3.Reboot your PC to enter the Safe mode of Windows 8.1.
4.After you finish troubleshooting in Safe Mode, run msconfig again from Safe Mode and untick the checkbox.
