    Just like you would a physical PC. 
    Here’s an article that discusses a couple of way to do it https://www.howtogeek.com/750801/how-to-boot-into-safe-mode-on-windows-11/

    Thanks for the quick response!  So just to confirm, there is no way to get to safe mode from the initial startup (i.e. holding down a CMD sequence on launch). I would need to have Windows running and then get to Safe Mode as per the article?

    Thank you!

    From what I see, correct - there’s no F8 or F10 method to force Windows 11 into safe mode. if you can’t boot to the logon screen or log on (white it’s easy to reboot into safe mode) then you have to perform  the “interrupt the power 3 times “ magic incantation that forces Windows into recover mode.
