(Solved) BSOD when trying to boot into safe mode from Windows AIO repair
whiggs:
Not quite the answer I was looking for. I was hoping there was some kind of shortcut I wasn't aware of. All of the software I use or have even been remotely interested in I obtain the installation medium and store it on a file server. While I don't use nearly all of it (not even half), that network share has 170 GB of data. Would much rather not have to reboot to safe mode after every install. Alas, it seems I don't have a choice. But thats the nature of the beast with Windows I suppose.

I was under the impression you had recently done a clean install and were just in the process of installing programs.
It's a puzzler why any installed programs should cause a BSOD when attempting to boot into Safe Mode, as none of them would be loaded even if they were in the Startup menu or Services of msconfig.
I suppose you could check to see if the BSOD still occurs in a clean boot with the programs you do have installed.

My program simply calls the bcdedit comma to tell windows do boot into safe mode, same way msconfig.exe does it. it doesnt do anything else or change anything.
So if it is crashing in safe mode then that means something that is needed to run properly isnt allowed to run in safe mode OR something not meant to run in safe mode is. Such as I have a user whos antivirus driver tries to load in safe mode and it causes the blue screen. This is a bug with the Av.
But since some things are restrict from running in safe mode, if a driver tried to access something it couldnt then you get the crash.
Have you tried the whocrashed program to see if it can tell you which file is causing it? That would let you know which program is at fault.

Solved. Was running SecureAplus antivirus. Awesome antivirus since it is the only one I can find that will actually ASK the user if it is ok to delete something before doing so, but it is not compatible with windows 10 yet. :cry:

Good to see you have found the program responsible.
Was that through the laborious install check method ?
