hello,

The F8 menu is available at any startup of your computer and allows you to quickly reach Windows startup modes such as Safe Mode. It is no longer available by default on Windows 10 and 11, but it can be re-enabled

Commands to activate the F8 menu

# In a cmd as administrator
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
# In PowerShell as administrator
bcdedit --% /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
# Or
cmd /c "bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy"
