Posted by Last week I was working on a young defect SSD powered computer running on Windows 10. Hitting the F8 key for enable the save mode while booting was almost impossible. Don’t know if the key is disabled or Microsoft reduced the time periods for pressing F8 near 0 seconds.
Enable safe mode Windows 8 or 10 with MSCONFIG
Go to your command prompt (CMD) or search for the executable called “run” and type MSCONFIG and hit enter. Switch to the boot tab and select the button “safe boot”, then reboot.
Enable F8 key Windows 8 or 10
To enable the F8 key. Run the command prompt (CMD) as administrator. Search for RUN or directly CMD -> right click -> Run as administrator. And copy the following lines into the prompt and hit enter. Reboot needed:

Change back to the default settings:
