"How to get into safe mode?" Sat Sep-15-18 03:08 AM by Stevehiker
I have a dual boot of Windows 7 and 8. I'm trying to get into safe mode to see if I can uninstall Avast. Apparently, I didn't uncheck a box; I'm thinking that it was a Ccleaner update. When I try to uninstall from control panel it says Avast is currently running. I've tried pressing F8 from a restart, but it doesn't work. Windows 7 is the one I'm trying to get into safe mode.
Edit: I did uninstall Avast; it finished loading, I guess. I'd still like to know how to get into safe mode, though.
Start>Run>type in MSCONFIG>click OK. Click on the Boot tab. Select Safe Boot under Boot Options and select Minimal or whichever other sub option you want. Click OK. Click Restart.
