From: David F. on 23 Apr 2010 16:30 Hi, No - I mean when you turn on the system and it just automatically comes up with the "windows error recovery" and a count down if it will go to safe mode or normal mode. What triggers that?

From: Jialiang Ge [MSFT] on 27 Apr 2010 22:54 Hello David According to product team's comments on this, the Windows Error Recovery screen is triggered after OS crashes. Windows does not support hooking into this mechanism in any way.
