HOLD down the power button on your computer and wait for the screen with the manufacturer’s logo to finish.
When the logo screen disappears begin to repeatedly tap (not press and keep pressed) the F8 key on your keyboard. Important note: for some laptops you may need to also simultaneously hold down the Fn key as well.
If the Windows “loading” screen shows up, then you did not tap the F8 key early enough, go back to step 1.
You should be seeing a screen titled “Advanced Boot Options.” It may appear slightly different for older or newer versions of Windows.
Use the keyboard to locate the option titled “Last Known Good Configuration (advanced)” and press the Enter key.
