(7,905 posts)F8 on boot no longer works. Go to charms from desktop or start screen->settings->change pc settings->general->scroll to advanced start up (the comp auto restarts because giving the user restart options BEFORE restarting is a concept MS is incapable of grasping) If I want to move a fricking icon on my desktop MS wants a confirmation but auto rebooting to recovery is fine and dandy.... BRILLIANT
Once options comes up you can do safe mode, recovery advanced.
If you want turn off driver signing and turn on logging at the same time you can forget it because the second you click on an option the system reboots.
No YES/NO/MAYBE confirmation. The system just reboots.
Oh and want some real fun? Click on advanced options and have the system instead magically decide to reboot into automatic recovery mode. Want to cancel that? Click cancel... oh shit no cancel button. When it asks you to log in under an account say I don't see my account (even though you do) AND THEN get an option to restart the comp and pray it doesn't loop back (it doesn't, but knowing MS that is probably a bug)
