In other cases, it may trigger the keyboard shortcut Shift + F8, through which runs a window for selecting boot options.Important!Very often it happens that "catch" the moment when this combination will work, it is impossible.If you use the computer, which is installed on the SSD-drive, make it almost impossible.What is the reason such behavior OS?
reason
The official blog of Microsoft says that this is due to a very fast system boot process.Steve Sinofsky said the same thing, and long before the appearance of the error.The problem is the high speed loading system, especially when it comes to hard drives.In this case, the program simply does not have time to "see" the press said keys.Since start the computer in Safe Mode?Windows 8 is, unfortunately, does not leave the choice to the user ...
