how to boot in safe mode

Hi,

Can you try these steps?

• Press and hold that power button for like 5 to 10 seconds. It'll power off eventually.
• Turn it back on after that.
• Right when the HP logo shows up, force shutdown again the same way.
• Do this whole thing 2 or 3 times, you know.
• Windows ought to kick into Recovery Mode on its own, which is basically Automatic Repair.
• You'll spot something like Preparing Automatic Repair or maybe a blue screen pops up. From there, click on Advanced options.
• Then pick Troubleshoot.
• Head over to Advanced options again.
• Choose Startup Settings.
• Hit Restart.
• Your laptop will reboot, and a list of options comes up. Press 4 or F4 to get into Safe Mode.
• Or go with 5 or F5 if you want Safe Mode with Networking.
