 Enable F8 Key to on Safe Mode Windows 8
Windows 8 offered a new begin operating device that reduced the rate that  windows 8 begins. Unfortunately, to be able to do this needed to eliminate the capability to accessibility the Impressive Start Choices display when you press the F8 key when windows begins. This designed that there was no quick way to accessibility Secured Strategy any longer by simply pushing the F8 key while windows begins. Instead to be able to accessibility Secured Strategy, you would need to either begin windows 8 and then tell it to reboot into protected technique or for windows to are failed to begin, where you could then tell windows reboot again into protected technique. Regardless of how you did, it became a 2-3 level procedure to accessibility the windows 8 Secured Strategy rather than a 1-step procedure that we have become familiar with.

In my perspective having accessibility analytic resources quickly is more important than men some a few minutes off of the time it takes windows to begins. With that said, this information will describe how to allow the F8 key in windows 8 so you can quickly accessibility the Secured Strategy begin options and other analytic resources. As a make up, by allowing this choice on a dual-boot program with several operating-system, you will now find it easier to choose the os you wish to use when you begin your computer.


To enable the F8 key in Windows 8 you will first need to open a command prompt as an Administrator

When the elevated command prompt is open you will be at the C:\Windows\System32> prompt. To enable F8 in Windows 8 you need to type the following in the command prompt and then press the Enter key.

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

Once you enter the above text, your command prompt should look like:



F8 key enable on windows 8



Once the command has been enter as shown above, press the Enter key on your keyboard. If you entered the command correctly, Windows will report that the "The operation completed successfully.". You now need to restart your computer for the change to go into effect. With this settings configured, you can now press F8 while Windows 8 starts in order to access Safe Mode and other Advanced Boot options.

If you would like to disable the F8 key and go back to the original Windows 8 setting you can open an elevated(Administrator Mode) command prompt and enter the following command:

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard

Once you enter the above command, press Enter on your keyboard. If you entered the command correctly, Windows will report that the "The operation completed successfully." and you should now restart your computer. The F8 key will now be disabled in Windows 8.
