Access Safe Mode in Windows 10

Have you ever tried to use Windows 10 Safe Mode, or use 10's troubleshooting console and found it difficult to access. Sure if your Pc has a problem booting, after several failed attempts it will automatically restart in troubleshooting mode, and there are other methods to access troubleshooting. But as an example say you need to run Windows 10 in Safe Mode to check for a rogue driver, then this method may make it a little easier for you.

1. Firstly shut down any open apps,
2. Then hold down your Shift key
3. With the Shift key held down click the Windows Power button on the start menu.
4. Still with the Shift key held down, click on Restart.
