Step 1: Force Windows to Enter Recovery Mode (WinRE)

2. As soon as the Windows logo appears, hold the power button to force shut down.

6. Click “Restart“

7. After reboot, you’ll see a list of options:

   2. Press 5 or F5 for Safe Mode with Networking

It’s better to open the “Safe Mode“ with Networking in case of need network access. After selecting the safe mode option windows will restart

Sometimes “Uninstall“ is not working based on the Microsoft regulations. Windows Installer is trying to run in Safe Mode, but Safe Mode restricts many services by default — including msiserver (Windows Installer service).

   1. After signing in to Windows in Safe Mode, you can open the “Installed Apps“ to delete “Monofor Identity Client“. If “Monofor Identity Client“ uninstalled successfully skip the option “b”.
