Help Nexus 7 stuck in Safe Mode

G'day all,

My Nexus 7 has taken it upon itself to boot into Safe Mode which is not what I want nor asked it to do. I can find how to do a System reset but is there a way please, of simply turning Safe Mode off without wiping my data and uninstalling my Apps?

Thanks, Mac
 
A reboot simply means to shut off the nexus and restart it. There should be no loss of data. A reset is a different story.
 
I did the reboot as you described gentlemen, several times, but Nexus 7 insisted that it intended to remain in "Safe Mode". The only possibility is that I was not doing a "complete reboot" as in, a total power down and power up. Is there perhaps more to this than just switching off with the manual switch and switching on again?

are you just pushing the "power" button.. and the screen goes black?
if that is all you are doing.. that is putting it to sleep mode... it is still on.

while awake.. hold the "power" botton for 2 secs..
then select "power off".

or

hold the power button for more than 30 secs.. and it will auto re-boot.
