I have a Latitude 5420 which is a work laptop.
I tried to install a USB external monitor but it sent the laptop into a reset loop
This has happened previously on another laptop and I just went into Safe Mode, uninstalled the Driver, and then it was fine.
But on the Latitude 5420 I can't get into Safe Mode. I've tried the following:
  • Boot up.
  • Press Esc to go to Bitlocker Recover - enter the long key (I think 48 numbers)
  • Automatic Repair fails, then shows the "Troubleshoot/Turn off your PC" screen
  • I select Troubleshoot.
  • I see the screen - but no Startup Settings (as described here)
I've tried ringing my internal support desk but they say a Full Rebuild will be required...!

Anyone know why Safe Mode isn't available?
