Is your Windows 11 acting up? Don't panic! Safe Mode is your secret weapon. It starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services, allowing you to troubleshoot problems without all the bells and whistles that might be causing the issue.
So, how do you boot into Safe Mode on Windows 11? There are a few methods. If Windows starts normally (even with errors), you can use the System Configuration tool (msconfig). Alternatively, if Windows is repeatedly crashing, it should automatically offer you advanced startup options after a couple of failed attempts.
From the advanced startup options (Recovery Environment), navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings and click Restart. After the restart, you'll see a menu where you can choose to enable Safe Mode with Networking (for internet access) or without.
Once in Safe Mode, you can uninstall problematic software, update drivers, or run system scans to diagnose the underlying problem. Once you've fixed the issue, simply restart your computer to boot back into normal Windows 11. Safe Mode: your troubleshooting lifeline!
