Is your Windows 11 PC acting up? Experiencing constant crashes or driver issues? Don't panic! Safe Mode is your first port of call for troubleshooting. Safe Mode starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services, allowing you to diagnose and fix problems without interference.
There are several ways to boot into Safe Mode in Windows 11. One common method involves holding down the Shift key while clicking "Restart" from the Start Menu or sign-in screen. This will take you to the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), where you can navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart. After the restart, you'll see a menu with options, including Safe Mode (usually option 4 or 5).
Once in Safe Mode, you can uninstall recently installed programs, update drivers, run system scans, or even perform a system restore. If your PC works fine in Safe Mode, it's a strong indication that the problem lies with a recently installed driver or software. Use this powerful tool to diagnose and resolve those pesky Windows 11 issues!
