Hi @ Wilders Just acquired a Dell Inspiron 15 model 3576. Win 10 Home 64 bit Version 1809 I created a recovery drive, all 21 gigabytes of it. When I put it through its paces to check it out I tried to get into safe mode. I booted from the USB 3 recovery drive with no problem. I selected Choose An Option, then Troubleshoot, then Advanced options. In Advanced Options were the following:- System Restore, Uninstall Updates, System Image Recovery, Startup Repair, Command Prompt and UEFI Firmware Settings. There was NO Startup Settings Option ie Safe Mode options. So my questions are:- 1) Where has Startup options gone to? How do get it back? 2) Is there a different way of accessing Startup Options from the Recovery Drive Thanks Terry
