Windows 8 Stuck in Safe Mode

safe-modewindows 8

I tried doing some repairs in the safe mode accessed by holding down shift while selecting the restart option.

I'm done with my work and now I'm stuck in safe mode no matter how I try and restart or boot from bios.

Under msconfig I tried selecting normal startup and then restarting yet I'm still booted back into safe mode.

I'm at a loss of what to do.

The following procedure might undo the Safe mode boot. Before starting, ensure just in case that you have the Windows 8 boot media or at least Create a Windows 8 Recovery Drive.

  • Run the Command Prompt (cmd) as Administrator

  • Enter and run the command bcdedit /enum /v

  • Right-click on the window and select Mark from the popup menu

  • Drag the cursor over the identifier under Windows Boot Loader

  • Reboot. If you find yourself still in Safe mode, try again to turn off Safe Mode by unchecking it in msconfig.exe.
