Try a System Restore.
You can do this in safe mode.
Click Start> right click My Computer, from the dropdown menu select Properties. In the new window that opens select System Restore from the top tab on the left, now follow thye wizard to restore you machine to a date and time before this problem started. If you can see one in the list of dates available select a System Checkpoint.

    You will need your original installation disk or a disk that matches your COA sticker on your machine NOT a recovery disk.

    Using an original Windows installation disk you can do a repair/install without loosing any of your personal files, after the repair you will have to reupdate all your updateable programs like Windows and Antivirus software.

    Follow the instructions on this site to the letter:

PLEASE HELP TURN OFF SAFE MODE

To get turn off Safe Mode, please try the following.
1. Touch and Hold the Power key.
2. Tap Power off.
3. Once the phone is off, Touch and then Hold the Power key again to restart.
The phone should now be out of Safe Mode.
However, if the Safe Mode is still running after you restart your phone, I would then check to make sure your Volume Down button is not stuck. Check to see if it has anything stuck in it as well, dust, etc. Anything like this can cause the phone to go into, and get stuck in, Safe Mode.
If that doesn't work try this...
Use the Status Bar to turn off Safe Mode. Pull down (swipe) the status bar of your Samsung Galaxy S6. Now tap the "Safe Mode" button. This should turn Safe Mode off. Now your phone will automatically restart, so that it boots up out of Safe Mode.
Hope it helps you:-))

2. Tap "Power Off".

3. Once the tablet is off, Touch and Hold the "Power" key again to restart.

3. "Quickly" press "Volume Down" and hold it for few seconds until you see the message "Safe Mode: OFF" or something similar.

4. If you wanted re-enable it, simply repeat the steps above, and you should see "Safe mode: ON" rather than off.

My Logitech Remote 550 is Locked in the Safe Mode. How do I get it our of Safe Mode.

Doing a firmware upgrade is the BEST way to recover from Safe Mode. A remote may go into safe mode itself for a variety of reasons.

However, if the remote fails to communicate with the PC when it is stuck in Safe Mode, please try the following.

1. Remove the batteries from the remote & check for any stuck buttons especially the Power button that may be causing the remote to stay in this state.
2. If it still will not apply firmware to get out of safe mode, then still without batteries hold down the #2 button while plugging into USB, and it should exit Safe Mode, and say something similar to 'Firmware Upgrade Success'. Even though it says this, still perform the Firmware upgrade since it was stuck in Safe Mode to begin with.

Hope this helps

Harmony 550 in safe mode

Hi There,
To get out of safe mode, do a firmware update from your PC. This will install the latest firmware and your configuration. Safe mode is a bootstrap designed to recover from firmware corruption issues so about the only thing it knows how to do is reload firmware.
However, if the remote fails to communicate with the PC when it is stuck in Safe Mode, please try the following.

1. Remove the batteries from the remote & check for any stuck buttons especially the Power button that may be causing the remote to stay in this state.
2. If it still will not apply firmware to get out of safe mode, then still without batteries hold down the #2 button while plugging into USB, and it should exit Safe Mode, and say something similar to 'Firmware Upgrade Success'.
