    F8 windows boot manager auto appear problem?


    I want to go into safe mode during PC power on. After power on PC, before windows logo appear by default if I press F8 I will not be able to see boot options to go into safe mode.

    My understanding is I need to manually enable F8 button to be able to access advanced boot options and safe mode during power up PC.

    I have done "OPTION ONE To Enable or Disable F8 Advanced Boot Options using displaybootmenu Command, step 3" in this article Enable or Disable F8 Advanced Boot Options in Windows 10

    Now whenever I power on PC I will see this screen Windows Boot Manager (screenshot https://i.imgur.com/LvaLVbG.png ) auto appear for about 30 seconds (without me pressing anything, without pressing F8 during start up) before windows logo appear.

    Is this suppose to happen after doing "OPTION ONE To Enable or Disable F8 Advanced Boot Options using displaybootmenu Command, step 3" in the article?

    How to let this screen appear only when I press F8 during power up PC? Thanks

    you could reduce the time from 30 seconds to e.g. 3 seconds

    If there is no display you will have to guess when to press f8

    bcdedit /timeout 3

    F8 is obsolete due to timing issues. You are free to try to make it work as it did in Windows in Win 7 etc.


    Consider:
    Add Safe Mode to Boot Options in Windows 10

    Option 6:
    Boot to Advanced Startup Options in Windows 10

    - and perhaps option 5

    Do feel free to explore the huge searchable Tutorials section.
