How to enable Safe Mode in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 with F8 key.

Safe mode is very useful if Windows is not working properly or is very slow. We can restore our windows or troubleshoot the drivers or software's which are creating trouble in starting windows. All the previous versions of windows have a special key F8 at startup by which we can enter in Safe Mode. But in windows 8 and Windows 8.1 it is disabled by default by Microsoft. But we can enable Safe Mode in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 by bcdedit command, which edits the boot loader of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
1. Open Command prompt by type cmd in search box of start button and Run as Administrator

2. Type  Bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes and press Enter.

3. Now press F8 key on next startup of Windows to enter into Safe Mode and then press F4 or 4 to start Safe Mode.

To disable F8 hotkey type command Bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu no in Dos Command Prompt.


Thanks to Microsoft for the solution.
