Windows 10: PC runs perfectly during normal boot. Freezes in safe mode.

I’m running Windows 11 home. Lately my main monitor I have two. An Asus 4K monitor and a Wacom Cintiq. Asus is main has randomly been going black for 2-5 seconds before coming back on. It happens ~2-3 times per day. I recently updated my gpu to an RTX Strix 4090 and had done a clean wipe of my graphics drivers using DDU and installing the NVIDIA drivers. Since then I’ve been having these blackout issues. I want to reuse DDU to wipe my drivers again and reinstall but I cannot get my PC to boot into Safe Mode needed to use DDU.My PC boots normally in normal boot but freezes on the lock

Cannot Enter Safe Mode / Computer boots normally

I'm running Win 10 Pro 1903.

Here are the steps I have taken to get into safe mode: Start button, settings, update and security, recovery, advanced startup, troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, restart. The computer boots normally, not in safe mode. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks in advance for your help and interest. .

Can't boot into Normal/Safe Mode with Networking, only safe mode...

Good Evening,
I could do with some pointers on resolving an issue. I can only boot into windows in safe mode in Windows 10. Normal mode and safe mode with networking doesn't work. The problem occurred after a windows update. I have removed the latest updates that were installed and cleared any pending ones but it still won't boot properly. I have also run the troubleshooter and tried to recovery to an earlier date which also doesn't work.
The laptop is a HP ENVY 17 notebook. At boot it just gets to the HP logo with the circular loading icon and no further and can only boot it into safe mode. Can anyone recommend the next steps? I have also tried the following;

• stopping startup items
• uninstalling hardware drivers
• removing recent software
• running troubleshooters at boot
• sfc scan
• diagnostic/selective startups with minimal services running

Would the fact that I cant boot into Safe Mode with Networking imply its a network driver related issue?
Bit of a dead end really, any help would be much appreciated
Kind regards
Trevor
