Is your Windows 10 acting up? Crashing constantly or plagued by stubborn software? Safe Mode might be your digital lifesaver! Think of it as a diagnostic tool, stripping Windows down to its bare essentials – basic drivers and services. This allows you to troubleshoot problems without third-party interference.
So, how do you access this emergency room? Several ways! You can hold down the Shift key while clicking 'Restart' from the power menu. Alternatively, if Windows fails to start normally a couple of times, it should automatically boot into the Recovery Environment, where Safe Mode is an option.
Once in Safe Mode, you can uninstall problematic software, update drivers, or run system scans. Remember, things will look and feel different. Don't panic! It's a temporary state designed to help you fix the core issue. After fixing the problem, simply restart your computer normally to exit Safe Mode. Get ready to troubleshoot!
