For some reason, if you decide you don’t want users to use Safe Mode, here is a way to disable access.

1. Open the Registry Editor (Start > Type regedit and press enter.

2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot.

3. Rename the Minimal and Network subkeys to Minimal.old and Network.old.

4. Reboot, and you will not be able to access Safe Mode by pressing F8
