  1. Press Windows logo key + X on the keyboard.
  2. Hold the Shift key while clicking Restart from Shut down or sign out menu.
  3. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings >Restart.
  4. After the PC restarts, a list of options will be shown. Select 4 or F4 or Fn+F4 to start the PC in Safe Mode. If using the Internet, select 5 or F5 or Fn+F5 for Safe Mode with Networking.
