positive. I held shift key down while clicking on restart. the f8 button don't work for some reason. it gave me a menu, I selected "5 start in safe mode with networking" it started in safe mode and I had no internet capabilities I'm thinking it might be a bug in WIN 10

Do you need special network drivers that aren't loaded in Windows Safe Mode?

A built-in network card that can use default Windows drivers should work, but any other way to connect might fail.
