Our new version is not only important, but it may be critical for Windows 8 users who may need to repair their computer. <\/p>\n<p>One of the benefits of Windows 8 is the instant boot capabilities on Windows RT and almost instant boot on Windows 8 Pro. Unfortunately, this speedy boot time may prevent the traditional \u201cPress F8\u201d to enter safe mode. The new release of WinPatrol 2013 provides an easy method to reboot Windows 8 version of Safe Mode also called the Repair, Reset or Restore mode.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/safemode1_thumb.png\" alt=\"safemode1_thumb\" width=\"484\" height=\"274\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-40435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/safemode1_thumb.png 484w, https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/safemode1_thumb-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><BR CLEAR=LEFT><\/p>\n<p>This is the new Safe Mode for Windows 8.
