Method 2:

Press and hold F8 during startup. If you are using your computer, save your files and close all programs. Press and hold the Shift key and click the Windows icon and the power icon. Click Restart to restart your computer.
Click Troubleshoot on the Choose an option screen, and go to Advanced Options > See more recovery options > Startup Settings > Restart.
Press the 4 key or F4 key and click Enable Safe Mode to enter Safe Mode.

To disable Safe Mode, perform the following:
