Through the Advanced boot options menu, you can access some handy troubleshooting tools like booting into Safe Mode, starting Windows with the last known good configuration, etc. However, Microsoft removed the text-based advanced boot menu option on Windows 10. Although you can access Safe Mode in Windows 10 with the options provided by default, but that’s a tricky process. What about adding a safe mode option in the boot menu? You can easily add Safe Mode right back to a boot menu that’s always available when you startup.
