Is your Windows 10 acting up? Crashing constantly? Safe Mode might be your lifeline! Think of Safe Mode 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 or faulty drivers.
So, how do you get there? The easiest way is to hold down the Shift key while clicking 'Restart' from the Start Menu or sign-in screen. This will take you to the Windows Recovery Environment. From there, navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and click 'Restart' again. You'll then see a menu with options, including Safe Mode (usually option 4).
Once in Safe Mode, you can uninstall problematic programs, update drivers, or run system scans. Remember to restart your computer normally after troubleshooting to exit Safe Mode. If your PC works perfectly in Safe Mode, the issue likely lies with a driver or software you recently installed. Time to investigate! Safe Mode: Your secret weapon for a healthy Windows 10.
