Solved Stuck in Safe Mode with flickering screen.


I think you could re-try Safe mode to make sure the problem re-occurs. Just don't use that MSConfig method - I have not seen any other methods cause Safe mode 'loops'.
Even if I could get into safe mode with another method and didn't get any flickering that still means something needs fixing correct?

I'm stuck in safe mode with a flickering screen and the only thing I can do is open is Task Manager. The only way to get out of this is to boot to the Macrium recovery console via USB to restore an image file. My first thought was corrupt video drivers, however I have reinstalled, uninstalled and the flickering safe mode is still here. I have run DISM restore, chkdsk, SFC and none of those have fixed it. I don't know what to try next. Can anyone help with this?
It's an issue with the last update to Win 11. If you boot to safe mode w/networking it does not flicker. There is some discussion of this on the NVIDIA driver section, page 6. Latest NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers for Windows 11

Strictly-speaking, Yes, something caused the glitch and ought to be investigated. But I've seen one-off incidents in my computers that have never raised their ugly heads again as have you, I bet.
- In early 2017, my Bluetooth adapter would not respond; both Windows & the OEM's hardware diagnostics said I did not have a Bluetooth adapter. The next day it was back without any remedial action having been taken. Nothing had happened before the incident and nothing had happened before its self-recovery. It has remained fine ever since.

It's an issue with the last update to Win 11. If you boot to safe mode w/networking it does not flicker. There is some discussion of this on the NVIDIA driver section, page 6. Latest NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers for Windows 11

I don't disagree with many of the comments made.
I agree that it's not a driver issue. Third-party drivers are not loaded in Safe mode.
As some of the discussion implied, a Windows fault is apparently the cause. Perhaps the fault will not be fixed until a future Cumulative update & it will remain best to use Safe mode with networking until then.
- I have no idea if SFC or a Repair install will have any effect. I doubt it because several of the sufferers will have tried them already.


All the best,
Denis

So holding Shift when clicking restarting will boot to safe mode?
You can also use Bootsafe which I have been using for many years.

To get out of boot loop, sometimes just using Ctrl-Alt-Delete will will you the reboot option on bottom of screen.

Good point. I have already tried an update with an older build that did not have the issue and as soon as build was installed safe boot issue started.
I hope someone in the insider group will post the problem.

What build/update started the safe mode issue for you?
All my machines boot to a flashing screen in Safe Mode after installing the optional CU for 22000.652. Besides the flashing, you will also notice that the Tashbar is empty, not even a Start button. The flashing is due to explorer.exe repeatedly crashing and restarting when it tries to populate the Taskbar.

This is NOT a driver issue, even my Hyper-V virtual machines do it. The only way to restart gracefully is to use Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to the Security Options screen and use the Power button there to shut down or restart. As has been noted above, Safe Mode with Networking does not have this problem.

I have had this problem since the latest update to 22000.652 if I start Safe mode from msconfig. I was able to restart normally by booting into my Macrium recovery and restoring the Boot partition.

I got out of it by starting Task Manager and killing Windows Explorer. Took a few tries because of the flashing, but once it 's killed the flashing stops. Then File>Run new task>msconfig, un-tick Safe mode and reboot.

I got out of it by starting Task Manager and killing Windows Explorer. Took a few tries because of the flashing, but once it 's killed the flashing stops. Then File>Run new task>msconfig, un-tick Safe mode and reboot.
This issue has been fixed by MS. Reboot and the problem is gone.
