Is your Windows 10 behaving badly? Experiencing crashes, driver issues, or pesky software glitches? Don't panic! Safe Mode is your troubleshooting superhero. It starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services, allowing you to diagnose and fix problems without interference.
So, *how to enter safe mode in Windows 10*? There are several ways:
* **From Settings:** Press Windows key + I, go to Update & Security -> Recovery -> Advanced startup -> Restart now. After restarting, choose Troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> Startup Settings -> Restart. Press the appropriate number (usually 4) to enter Safe Mode.
* **Using System Configuration (msconfig):** Press Windows key + R, type `msconfig` and press Enter. Go to the Boot tab, check "Safe boot" and select the type (Minimal, Alternative Shell, or Network). Click OK and restart.
* **During Startup (if nothing else works):** Repeatedly power cycle your PC (turn it on and off during the Windows loading screen) to trigger Automatic Repair. From there, navigate to Advanced options and follow the steps from the Settings method.
Safe Mode allows you to uninstall problematic software, update drivers, or run system scans. Once you've fixed the issue, simply restart your computer normally to exit Safe Mode. Get back to a smoothly running PC – take control with Safe Mode!
