I'm having a devil of a time trying to get Windows 8.x into safe mode. From what I've read it seems nigh impossible to do this without doing a jig and catching a leprechaun first.
The shift-(mash)F8 just doesn't do the trick. I've tried this on about 10 computers so far ranging from various 8 and 8.1 editions with no joy.
Is there a sure fire mechanism to trigger safe mode now? I'm even open to the idea of some CD/ISO that is set up to trigger this by modifying the boot.ini or such if you know of a tool like this. There are way too many situations where I'm needing safe mode to keep going on like this otherwise.
