Windows 10 Won't Cooperate? Here's How to Boot into Safe Mode!

Is your Windows 10 PC acting up? Experiencing constant crashes, driver issues, or a mysterious slowdown? Safe Mode can be your troubleshooting best friend! It starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services, allowing you to diagnose and fix problems without the interference of third-party software.

So, how do you access this magical mode? There are a few ways:

**1. From Settings (If Windows is Still Working):**

* Press the Windows key + I to open Settings.
* Go to Update & Security > Recovery.
* Under Advanced startup, click Restart now.
* After restarting, choose Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.
* Press 4 or F4 to start in Safe Mode.

**2. Using Shift + Restart (When Windows is Having Issues):**

* Hold down the Shift key and click Restart from the power options (Start Menu or login screen).
* Follow the same steps as above (Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart).
* Press 4 or F4 to start in Safe Mode.

Once in Safe Mode, you can uninstall problematic programs, update drivers, or run system scans. Remember to restart normally to exit Safe Mode once you've resolved the issue. Good luck!
