Long story short.........

My wifes' pc is stuck in 'Safe Mode'.
The F8 key doesn't work.

How do I get it to start Windows normally?

  • Is the F8 key stuck down as if it's being pressed? If so, I'd just go buy another keyboard. I think you can pick one up for under $20.00.

    On the other hand, you might just try a hard shut down and restart the computer. Unless the F8 key is stuck as though it's being pressed it should start up in regular mode.

    To do a hard shut down just push the power button on the tower and hold it for around 5-6 seconds and it will shut down.

    Sorry if I'm getting too basic. It's hard to explain without knowing your skill level.

    HTH
  • If the F8 is just stuck then pull out the key and hit the rubber underneath with a pen instead. Otherwise as suggested get another keyboard
