Windows 10 and remote "safe mode with networking" reboot via Teamviewer / Splashtop

[Richard Burtov]

I use both Teamviewer (v10) and Splashtop (v3) for remote support to my customer base.

Today I needed to remote reboot into "safe mode with networking" a Windows 10 machine. TV "should" do this automagically and with Splashtop I use a small script to try to do it. The remote machine did indeed boot into safe mode but not safe mode with networking. I then experimented with a local Windows 10 machine and noticed the same problem.

Is there a workaround for this problem? Has anyone else seen this problem?

The reboot script I am using via Splashtop is:

@echo off
bcdedit /set safeboot network
shutdown -r -f -t 0

So the issue is with both Teamviewer and Splashtop or just Spalshtop?

v11 Teamviewer ?

Just go into msconfig and set it to reboot to safe mode with networking there if needs be.

The machines reboot into safe mode but WITHOUT networking.

v11 Teamviewer is a possibility but I'll be then forced to upgrade my business licence to and don't really want to do that at the moment.

I've tried that. The script I have should do that for me but it doesn't.

I'll have to try and see if it's a Windows 10 specific issue.

Do the machines require a login ?  I wonder if that is preventing (somehow) the reboot into Safe Mode w/ Networking

I know Teamviewer has the Reboot into Safe Mode option, but am not aware of a Safe Mode w/ networking (unless it is understood as the networking part would have to be present in order to reconnect)

Don't you need the {default} identifier in the script?

Yes, the two machines both require a login.

Teamviewer "Reboot to safe mode" is safe mode with networking.
