Anyone know how to boot at T480 into Safe mode?
Traditionally F8 or F12 gave that.
Traditionally there's a boot process long enough to play with those keys, but this computer goes quickly through a red Lenovo box into Windows sign-in dialogue box.
Bot is very fast on this machine, which has an M.2 SSD of PCIe flavour.
(M.2 is a little circuit card hiding in traditional HDD cage.
Various flavours exist, another Tower of Babel.)

With Windows 10, it's drastically different.

Hold down the shift key and click Restart.
Click the option Troubleshoot and then Advanced options.
Go to “Advanced options” and click Start-up Settings.

I have all my Win8 and Win10 PCs display a boot menu, even if there is only one option, precisely so that I always have the option to press F8 for advanced options, without having to complete a full boot first.

Re: T480 how to boot into Safe mode
Thankyou.
I'll keep that for the future, as I don't expect Safe mode would fix the display problem and I don't know if external display works in Safe Mode.
