Depending on the laptop model, starting the computer in Safe Mode may differ. Also, entering the safe mode of the operating system depends on the Windows that is installed on the laptop. Two options will be considered here. One of them will definitely be correct for any laptop model.
Step 2

These are, for example, antiviruses or programs that monitor the operation of the operating system. The notification about currently running programs is displayed in the lower right corner of the monitor in the form of icons. Right-click on the icon of the running program and select the "exit" command from the context menu that appears. In this way, close all active running programs. Do not be afraid to turn off an application that is required for Windows to function properly. Among the running programs that run with the laptop, you can turn off only those that expand the capabilities of the Windows operating system.
Step 3

It may appear that the laptop is frozen and nothing is happening. Do not restart or turn off your laptop during this process. If, nevertheless, the system cannot start in safe mode, this sometimes happens when Windows breaks down, then the laptop will either simply reboot automatically or turn off itself. After starting work in safe mode, you will see a black laptop screen without a splash screen, and on top of the screen the inscription "safe mode".
