Maybe this will be of use to some.
Worth adding here, perhaps.
Users have read, or experienced, a faster boot time in Windows 10. In a way, this has been a bit of a cheat by Microsoft. What they have done is eliminated a window/facility during the boot process. This has, itself, caused the now added complaint regarding the tortuous way of being able to access safe mode.
If you are willing to sacrifice that faster boot, you can easily put this function back again.
Open a Command prompt, with Admin privileges.
Type, or paste in
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
On boot up, you will now see the "Other" options at the bottom of the boot screen.
If you are not happy, and want to return to fastboot, you can remove the option again with
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard

You are right. Mine does not have fast boot in bios, at least I can't find it.
Are you aware of this tutorial ? It is applicable to Win 10.
Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 8
Do you think the followings in elevated command prompts will help ?
BCDEDIT /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes
BCDEDIT /timeout 5

Thanks David, but that is not applicable. That is the fast boot function in Windows. My problem is, I think (?) with the bios fast boot.
The BCDEDIT command will, I believe, only change the time that the OS sits on the Boot menu. This, in any event, I do through the MSConfig.
Anyway, as I said, it is not too important, but I will certainly keep pursuing the problem. For the time being, I am continuing playing with a few other functions.
