IMG_6222.JPG I have a nasty virus I'm trying to deal with so I switched to safe mode then restarted my laptop. My pc started but the usual login option is gone. There's no way for me to sign in. I tried different keyboard combinations but nothing.


I appreciate any help thank you!!

Thanks for replying. I was able to enter the boot menu by holding the F2 key before powering up the pc. If I can get into Windows I think I can solve the virus issue. I attached an image of the boot screen. I'm not sure what option to choose. I really appreciate your help. Thank you!!

I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do.
If you think you're infected virus may be preventing you from reaching Windows.
