[NFBCS] How Do You Activate the Troubleshooting Menu at Start Up with a Keyboard

[charles.vanek at gmail.com]

Ah ha, I read an article about this.  So while it's possible, it's not
accessible.  You can press enter on the Power button, arrow to Restart, hold
Shift and Press Enter.  That will bring up the screen that has the
troubleshooting.  However. I only know that it brought up the
troubleshooting screen by using SeeingAI to read the laptop screen from my
iPhone camera.  Narrator does not work on this screen.

 

Sorry.

Hi Nicole, I've never heard of that before. Are you talking Windows, if so
which version?

 

I tried really quick on Windows 11 and Shift Click only brings up the same
options as pressing Enter on it.

You may be able to try this yourself, the Power is located at the lower
right of the screen, move your mouse to the extreme lower right, then
slightly up and to the left then try clicking as you say with the Shift key.

 

Good luck.

            I would greatly appreciate an answer quickly-even if the answer
is that there is not one. I have looked through various articles on the
internet about how to reset a computer from the log in screen, and they say
to use the troubleshooting option, which is activated by holding down the
shift key while clicking the power button. Is there some kind of keyboard
equivalent for this? If not, is there some other way to reset a computer
from the log in screen?

 

Thanks in advance,

Nicole
