safe mode
William Rice:
Hi Tom,
I understand these types of problems can be almost impossible to figure out. This one is especially hard since it does boot into safe mode up to the point of the sign in screen, it just doesn't have a place to sign in! What makes it even stranger is that you CAN sign in if you go to safe mode from the windows restart process or via the troubleshooting route.
Probably not productive to spend a lot of time on this issue. Just do it the hard WIN10 way and get on with it.

I don't use a password on any of my machines so whether I use the program or Windows to get to Safe Mode, it takes me straight there.
I don't know if this would make a difference but go Start - type netplwiz and press enter when it comes up.
There you will see a checked box for Users must enter a username and password to use this computer
Uncheck the box and press OK and then see what the program does.
As you can see from mine, the box is checked but as I've never set up a login password, it's non-effective.
Do you need to have a password for your machine ?
William Rice:
Interesting. I think I need a password. I have my banking and other sensitive info on the computer in question and grandkids who visit often. I have another computer for them, but one computer + two grandkids = overflow to my PC. Anyway, I just hold the shift key when I restart the computer and go in that way. I suppose if I needed to go into safe mode for several reboots I could just uncheck the above and recheck after I was done. That could be handy.
Fortunately I do not need to go into safe mode very often. So thanks for the info, but don't worry about it too much unless you get more complaints. Hopefully the Spring update will fix it anyway, as noted earlier.
Boggin:
I'm just wondering when I'll get the 2004 Windows Update - I guess I'll have to create a newer Win 10 install USB then.
William Rice:
Last I read, the new release starts 5/28 in a gradual rollout. I personally don't know if you really need a new install disk since they are never completely up to date and you need to do an update as soon as you install it anyway. But since I am somewhat OCD about stuff like that I will probably do a new one anyway.
Regards,
William
