Boot Into Windows 10 Safe Mode

As you didn't provide much information regarding your issue, I can point out two situations:

1. You can't boot into Safe Mode because you don't know how to do, or press F8 doesn't work

In this case, you should know that press F8 won't often work as you don't press fast enough. From Windows 10, the boot process runs very fast and there's nothing can faster to interrupt it, especially when Fast Startup (or also known as Fast Boot) is enabled.

Therefore, you need to use other methods. Here are a few ways you can use to boot into Safe Mode, including using the Settings app, System Configuration, or Shift + Restart.

2. If you have tried a few methods but can't boot into Windows 10 Safe Mode

In this case, please post back with further details so I can help you out. Lack of information can't help me understand your situation clearly.
