Personalization Add Safe Mode to Boot Options Menu in Windows 11


  • Staff
Startup_Settings_banner.png

This tutorial will show you how to add Safe Mode to the boot options menu in Windows 11.

Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. If a problem doesn't happen in safe mode, this means that default settings and basic device drivers aren't causing the issue. Observing Windows in safe mode enables you to narrow down the source of a problem, and can help you troubleshoot problems on your PC.

There are three different versions of safe mode:
  • Safe Mode: Starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services without an Internet connection.
  • Safe Mode with Networking: Starts Windows in safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.
  • Safe Mode with Command Prompt: Starts Windows in safe mode without an Internet connection with a Command Prompt window instead of the usual Windows interface. This option is intended for IT pros and system admins.
If wanted or needed, you can add Safe Mode to the boot options menu to make it easy to select to boot into Safe Mode on the Choose an operating system screen at boot.


You must be signed in as an administrator to add or remove Safe Mode on the boot options menu.

EXAMPLE: Safe Mode on Boot Options Menu

Option One

Add Safe Mode to Boot Options Menu


1 Open an elevated command prompt or command prompt at boot.

2 Copy and paste the bcdedit command into the command prompt, and press Enter. (see screenshot below step 7)

3 Look under the Windows Boot Loader section for your Windows 11 "description" to see what its identifier (ex: "{default}") is.

4 Copy and paste the command below for the safe mode version you want into the command prompt, and press Enter.

The specified name (ex: “Windows 11 Safe Mode”) in the commands below is what will show on the boot options menu (Choose an operating system) screen.

If wanted, you can use any name you want instead.


bcdedit /copy {identifier} /d "Windows 11 Safe Mode"

OR​

bcdedit /copy {identifier} /d "Windows 11 Safe Mode with Networking"

OR​

bcdedit /copy {identifier} /d "Windows 11 Safe Mode with Command Prompt"

Substitute identifier in the command above with the actual identifier (ex: "{default}") from step 3.

For example: bcdedit /copy {default} /d "Windows 11 Safe Mode with Networking"


5 Make note of the identifier (ex: "{7c52bbce-ad1e-11ec-82f6-00155d001106}") specified in The entry was successfully copied to output.

6 Type the command below for the Safe Mode version you want into the command prompt, and press Enter.

(safe mode)​
bcdedit /set {identifier} safeboot minimal

OR​

(safe mode with networking)​
bcdedit /set {identifier} safeboot network

OR​

(safe mode with command prompt)​
bcdedit /set {identifier} safeboot minimal

and

bcdedit /set {identifier} safebootalternateshell yes

Substitute identifier in the command above with the actual identifier (ex: "{7c52bbce-ad1e-11ec-82f6-00155d001106}") from step 5.

For example: bcdedit /set {7c52bbce-ad1e-11ec-82f6-00155d001106} safeboot network


7 You can now close the command prompt or boot back into Windows if you like.

Option Two

Remove Safe Mode from Boot Options Menu


1 Open an elevated command prompt or command prompt at boot.

2 Copy and paste the bcdedit command into the command prompt, and press Enter. (see screenshot below step 5)

3 Look under the Windows Boot Loader section for your Windows 11 Safe Mode "description" to see what its identifier (ex: "{25d6dc52-ad14-11ec-882e-00155d001106}") is.

4 Type the command below into the command prompt, and press Enter.

bcdedit /delete {identifier}

Substitute identifier in the command above with the actual identifier (ex: "{25d6dc52-ad14-11ec-882e-00155d001106}") from step 3.

For example: bcdedit /delete {25d6dc52-ad14-11ec-882e-00155d001106}


5 You can now close the command prompt or boot back into Windows if you like.

This method didn't work for me in Windows 11 but your Windows 10 tutorial did. In particular this command failed despite using the correct identifier:

bcdedit /set {identifier} safeboot network

There is no mention of using msconfig like the Windows 10 tutorial.

Are you sure this tutorial is correct?

Hello Steve, :alien:

I just tested on my system, and it's working for me.

Steps 5 and 6 in option one replaced the need for msconfig. This way you can do it all at once in the command prompt.

Steps 5 & 6 didn't work. Step 4 did work. I used MSConfig to show and set the Safe Boot Options and all works. You might want to include this option in case others have problems.

I have also failed to get a Boot options menu to appear in Windows 11.
I used the procedure in Option 1.

When it did not have any effect, I checked in MSConfig and set its Permanent checkbox.
  • I set the time delay at 3 secs for the picture but have also tried 10 secs.
  • I clicked Apply then OK each time I altered it.
MSConfig.png

Still no effect, no Boot options menu.
I've tried both Restart & Shutdown.

This is a pretty raw Windows 11 installation. The only thing I have done since installing it has been to restore drivers, pair with my Bluetooth mouse & set my Power options [including turning off Fast start].

Any thoughts?


All the best,
Denis

Does bcdedit in the command prompt show the new safe mode {200c1967-15b1-11ee-890f-f46add8d0a8a} identifier listed?

Yes, as shown in the responses I posted.
If you mean afterwards, yes as well.

Do you get the option if you use bootmenupolicy legacy ?

I can see that mine shows as Standard but that's the sum total of my engagement with bootmenupolicy to date.
I believe I need to use

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
for that [to revert to the black screen menu instead of the blue one]

Yes, that does work.

Denis,

I don't see anything wrong with your bcdedit settings.

I do notice you have a short boot menu timeout set. As a test, change it back to the default 30 seconds like below to see if you see the boot menu after a restart.

I can see that mine shows as Standard but that's the sum total of my engagement with bootmenupolicy to date.
I believe I need to use

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
for that [to revert to the black screen menu instead of the blue one]

Yes, that does work.

Brink,

I had tried a 10 seconds menu delay but it made no difference.

If I set the Boot options menu to its old black form
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
then it shows up when booting.

If I change it back to the blue form then that does not show up.
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard


I can stick with the black menu for now.
Is this legacy vs standard behaviour diagnostic of anything in particular?

reagentc /info

Windows RE status: Enabled
Windows RE location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE

REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.

The results are the same whether booting legacy & standard.
