Hello,

You can keep the quarantined elements from now, we'll see to delete them when the problems will be solved.

You can make the test to restore the registry elements from AdwCleaner. I doubt it will restore your access to the safe-mode, but we'll see and we'll proceed according to your results.

Best regards,

Run as Administrator

If you download ADW Cleaner and save to Desktop or Download will you get better results depending on which location you choose?
