Using command keys doesn't work in Windows 10. It took me an hour but I figured out how to force the computer into showing the Advanced Repair screen before boot completion.

Anyway, this new Safe Mode doesn't let you do much. Networking will not work even though I selected it. Also, it won't let me change Display Adapter settings (greyed out). Is there some other way to change the resolution in Safe Mode for Windows 10?
