GRUB loads always windows in safe mode

Ask Fedora
1

I’ve installed Fedora 31 on a notebook with Windows 10, GRUB shows me different options on boot, and when I choose Windows the system starts but always in safe mode. I have no options to load Windows 10 normally.

This is the boot sequence given by GRUB Customizer:

insmod part_gpt
insmod fat
set root='hd0,gpt1'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt1 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt1  B0DE-B937
else
  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root B0DE-B937
fi
chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

And this is the result of fdisk -l command:

Device           Start        End    Sectors   Size Type
/dev/sda1         2048    1026047    1024000   500M EFI System
/dev/sda2      1026048    1107967      81920    40M unknown

/dev/sda7   1937344512 1953523119   16178608   7,7G Windows recovery environment
/dev/sda8   1406771200 1408868351    2097152     1G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda9   1408868352 1933588479  524720128 250,2G Linux LVM

Can anyone help me setting up GRUB to load Windows correctly? Thanks

I suspect grub is working properly.

The issue likely is that you need to address a windows issue that is forcing the safe mode startup.

Yes, it’s exactly what you said, I’ve solved with the following steps on windows:

  1. Click on Start
  2. Type msconfig (This will bring up the System Configuration window)
  3. Go to the Boot tab
  4. If selected, remove the tic from Safe boot
  5. Click Apply and then OK
  6. Restart your computer
