How to boot into safe mode
Windows can boot into safe mode by hitting F8 during boot up, but the time window for that is very small.
If you use a USB-Keyboard, it's a little bit tricky to press the Function key during the small "time-window". You can just press F8 a lot of times in a very fast sequence and ignore the beeps at every keystroke.
Do not hold down the F8-key permanently, because it will cause a keyboard-error and leads you into the BIOS.
Hope that works for you !!

Lenovo Y550P stopped charging battery
Check the Power Adapter and Outlet:
Ensure that the AC power adapter is securely connected to both your laptop and a functional power outlet.
If your laptop has an AC power indicator light, make sure it's illuminated. If not, try a different wall outlet (avoid using a power bar) .
Battery Charge Stops at 60%:
If your battery charge stops at 55%-60% and shows a "plugged in, not charging" message, it might be due to a power management setting.
Some Lenovo laptops have a feature that limits battery charging to extend battery life. To disable this:
For models with Lenovo Energy Management, Lenovo Power Manager, OneKey Optimizer, Lenovo Settings, or Lenovo Vantage:
Check if "Conservation Mode" is turned on. If so, turn it off.
If the issue persists, try updating your laptop's BIOS:
Go to the Lenovo support website, download the latest BIOS for your model, and install it.
Reboot your PC and check if the problem is resolved.
Hard Reset:
Sometimes a hard reset can help resolve charging issues:
Shut down your computer.
Remove the battery (if detachable).
Hold down the power button for 30 seconds (with the battery removed).
Reattach the battery, plug in the AC adapter, and turn on the computer. The battery should start charging .
If these steps don't solve the problem, there might be other causes.
How to connect an onn wireless mouse to a lenovo chromebook? i tried doing this 3 times and still wont connect.
Firstly, try turning over your Bluetooth mouse and find the power switch. Make sure it's turned to ON.
You should see the optical light turn on (usually red). Place the mouse back flat on your mouse pad.
On your Chromebook, select the lower right corner of the taskbar. In the window that pops up, select the Bluetooth icon.
If the Bluetooth status is currently off, enable the toggle switch to enable Bluetooth. Once enabled, you'll see a scanning status as your Chromebook looks for active,
nearby Bluetooth devices. When your wireless mouse appears, you can select it to pair and connect to it.
Once your Chromebook has made its connection with your Bluetooth wireless mouse, you'll notice the mouse pointer moving when you move your mouse
