  Step 3Press the F8 key, and hold until the screen appears

  Step 4Use the arrow keys of your keyboard to get to “Safe Mode” in the Windows Advanced Options menu. Press Enter. Your PC will now reboot in Safe Mode.

  Step 5Wait for the process to complete, as it may take a few minutes

  Step 6Once you have resolved the issue you were working on, close all the programs you have open, and then reboot your PC as normal.
