  Okay so here’s what I do when I need Safe Mode on Windows 10 — kinda quick and messy, hope it helps lol.
  
  First, click the start button (the Windows logo) then the power icon. Now while holding down the Shift key, click Restart. Don’t let go of Shift until it actually restarts.
  
  You’ll get this blue screen with options, looks a bit confusing but just go with it.
  
  Click Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, then Startup Settings. After that, click Restart again.
  
  Once your PC boots up again, you’ll see a list of options with numbers. Just press 4 or F4 to boot into Safe Mode. If you need internet on Safe Mode, press 5 or F5 instead.
