How do I get my acer laptop out of safe mode

Solution
So long as it isn't using Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, you can press the Windows key and R together then in the Run box, type msconfig then press Enter.

Under the BOOT tab, there will be a ticked box for Safe Mode. Remove that tick and click Apply and OK your way out. After the restart, tick "don't show this message again" and hit OK.
