The set command specified is not valid.
Run “bcdedit /?” for command line assistance.
The parameter is incorrect.

BCD was probably edited by Aomei OneKey Recovery. Any idea how to enable perma-F8 in this case?

I cannot get into the system to enter any commands at all. Is there a way to get to that F8 key? I am not even sure it would open if I did, though……..I think I am scuppered.

This only enables the option to press F8 to enter safe mode. It does not mean if something is wrong with your computer safe mode will help you, maybe it will, maybe it wont. It depends what is wrong with your machine. However if you use this command if anything happens to you in the future you can easily get into safe mode and attempt to make repairs. It is a useful tweak because Microsoft has removed this feature in newer versions of windows and it used to be an easily accessible feature.
