Is your Windows 10 machine acting up? Maybe a recent driver update went wrong, or you're battling a stubborn virus. Don't panic! Safe Mode is your lifeline. Think of it as a stripped-down version of Windows, loading only essential drivers and services. This allows you to troubleshoot problems without interference from third-party software.
Booting into Safe Mode in Windows 10 can be done in a few ways. If your PC starts (even with errors), you can use System Configuration (msconfig) or Settings -> Update & Security -> Recovery -> Advanced startup. If your PC is completely unresponsive, you might need to interrupt the boot process a few times to trigger the automatic repair, which offers Safe Mode options.
Once in Safe Mode, you can uninstall faulty programs, roll back drivers, or run virus scans. Remember to restart your computer normally once you've resolved the issue to return to the full Windows experience. Safe Mode is your secret weapon for troubleshooting Windows 10 – use it wisely!
