    Hello all
    I am trying to boot Win 11 Pro into safe mode. I follow the instructions I have found, ie. Hold Shift and Restart. I get
    the expected screen, Boot into Windows 11, Troubleshoot etc. I select Troubleshoot and the omly Option I am given is
    UEFI formware settings. None of the other expected options, Startup Repair, Startup Settings, Command Prompt Uninstall
    Updates, or System Restore appear.
    Can anyone please advise why ?
    TIA

    I have of course tried running msconfig and setting that to boot into safe mode but it makes no difference.
    Still boots straight into normal windows.
