Boggin:
RochesterChuck's problem stemmed from running a pre-released version of Win 10 where he didn't have the normal desktop you would normally get in Safe Mode.

I don't use passwords or have a MS account so don't know if a password is required for that mode, but if you got stuck in Safe Mode, you can select Command Prompt(Admin) and enter bcdedit

This will produce a list of items where you would look for the Windows Boot Loader identifier.

This can either be {current} or {default} to use in this cmd which would release you from Safe Mode on a restart.

I had to use that cmd once when I'd used msconfig to boot into Safe Mode when I was unable to access msconfig in that mode to change the setting.

I'm using {current} as an example - bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot

I use the SHIFT and Restart method all of the time when I want to get to the advanced boot options but there is another method which is accessed through the Settings cog/Update & Security/Recovery where you would use the second option.

I still don't fancy Bootsafe :)

William Rice:
This is getting a little to complicated for me. I will print out and file all this information to keep in case something happens.So far I have lived without Safe Boot mode in WIN10 and will just keep my fingers crossed that I don't need it.

Contrary to many peoples opinions I have found WIN10 to be extremely stable compared to the many versions I have used since Windows 3.

I think we can call this case solved. 

Thanks again for you sage advice.

Re BootSafe: I can't speak for Windows 10 as I'm still using W 7, but I know it's helped at least one forum member to get out of Safe Mode. However, Boggin is much more knowledgeable in this area than me and I understand his wariness.

Boggin:
Yes, I remember that but I believe it was due to exceptional circumstances where there was a bug in the Windows Repair program that was locking some in Safe Mode, although I never experienced that.

The reason why I'm not keen on Bootsafe is because I shy away from programs that can do the same that is possible with Windows tools, although in that instance the bcdedit cmd didn't work.

That may have been because Safe Mode had been achieved through the repair program and not through Windows.
