No advanced Startup Options (Safe Mode)
Hello everyone. This is my first post here. I could really use some help. I am in the process of reinstalling my system. I am running a newly installed 10x64 pro. Part of that requires I install Dragon Naturally Speaking. However, I cannot do that; I get a 1303 error during install. That is because of a lack of appropriate rights on the c:\users\all users\desktop folder. (That in an of itself is odd because I'm running in an admin account and the msi as admin as well.) I am unable to change the permissions on that folder regularly. In order to change the permissions I need to reboot into safe mode. However, none of the things I've tried can get me to where I can boot into safe mode.
Settings < Update and Security < Recovery < Advanced Startup leads me to a screen when turn off PC is the only option; safe mode is not there.
Holding the shift while hitting the power button at the login screen just results in a regular restart.
"bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal " does nothing
Simply, why is it that I'm getting no advanced boot options?
