Boot into safe mode options:I've been using startallback to make windows 11 look like old windows. I just got a new PC and wanted to see if there was a way to export the settings, something updated and now my laptop is unusable. Just constant taskbar flickering, can't start any programs, open any settings, I can open task manager but no idea what process to kill to kill startall back.
Is there anyway I can boot into safe mode whilst the laptop is booting up or somehow uninstall startallback?

Boot into Safe Mode from outside of Windows 11 or Windows 10
Windows 11 and Windows 10 automatically boot into the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) if Windows fails to start three times in a row. Three consecutive failed attempts trigger this action. Booting to Safe Mode outside of Windows is achieved in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).Follow these steps to enter Safe Mode from the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE):
- At the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot.
- At the Troubleshoot screen, select Advanced Options.
- At the Advanced Options screen, select Advanced Startup Options.
