I take it you did the System Recovery from Safe Mode, can't you just go down and shut down then when you start up again hopefully it will start up normal, never had to do it so don't know if this will work but I can't see it will hurt to try.

He might have gone to BIOS where exit is not too obvious. The easiest way is shut down by pressing Power Button, then restart and boot normally..not safe mode or any other mode..... just normal boot.

 

[coolnewyorker]

If you are on Advanced Boot Options screen, scroll down with down arrow to Start windows normally, then click enter.

 

[tony24]

No that did not work

 

[coolnewyorker]

Which? You can always reboot forcefully by manually pressing on power button until you shut down. Then press it again to restart.

 

[tony24]

Done that did not work

 

[coolnewyorker]

What happens when you reboot after forceful shut down?

 

[johngalt]

Are you watching it boot, or walking away? It could be that your system is telling you you had problems and picking the Recovery as an option, giving you like a couple of seconds (up to 30) to change back to a normal boot sequence....

 

[tony24]

No I watch it boot up nothing else comes up

If you had just attempted to do system recovery, you might be trying to get out before it is completed. (some techie call it FBI GUI manager). Let it complete. Try to just leave it alone until it is done. Sometimes SR takes longer than "normal"...like "forever"
