8 Ways to Access Advanced Startup Options in Windows 11
The Advanced Boot Options (ASO) menu, available in Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows 8, is the central location for troubleshooting issues across the entire operating system.
From here you can access Windows diagnostic and repair tools such as Reset this PC, System Restore, Command Prompt, Startup Repair, and many more.
Here you will also get access to Startup Settings, the Safe Mode menu, along with other boot methods that can help you get into Windows if it has trouble booting. In other words, Advanced Boot Options functions like the Windows 11/10/8 boot menu.
