HP Pavilion 15

Hello, I have a problem with enabling safe boot mode. When I enter the BIOS, I go to the boot tab and it appears in gray with the words "establed"

Greetings @wiktor_miko 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

Is your PC using Windows? Is so, safe mode is a Windows function.

 

Either method described below will get you to the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). You can get to safe mode from the WinRE.

 

Safe Mode Options Using The WinRE

 

From the WinRE select: Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, then Startup Settings. Then select Restart. Safe mode options will now be available.

 

WinRE Using Windows

 

Do a PC restart using "Start" in the Task bar while holding down the "Shift" key to get to the WinRE if your PC can load Windows.

 

Then use the WinRE (per above) to get to safe mode.

 

WinRE When Windows Will Not Load

 

Getting to the WinRE if your PC cannot load Windows  requires starting the PC about three times.

 

Start the PC using the power button. Shut the PC down using the power button when the PC begins to POST but before Windows attempts to load.

 

Do this three times. Then use WinRE (per above) to get to safe mode. 

 

Regards
