Safe mode restricts the operation of drivers and files. It is used, as a rule, to diagnose and solve problems that have arisen in the functioning of a computing device related to the operation of programs.
Windows 10 Safe Mode is one of the most important places on your computer. If your PC has problems that cannot be diagnosed or solved using the operating system, then the most appropriate option is to boot into Safe Mode. There are three types of safe mode: with support for network drivers, command line and without all this.
But how do you boot into Safe Mode? In windows 10, this happens a little differently than in previous versions of the windows operating system: the classic "press f8 while booting the pc" method no longer works on new machines due to the fact that they tend to boot quickly.
But there are a few more ways to boot into safe mode in windows 10, and here are the most important ones.
Booting from installation media (bootable disk)
If there is no way to boot windows at all (for example, if you get stuck in an automatic recovery loop or just open a blank screen when windows tries to open windows), then the best way to boot into Safe Mode is to use a recovery disc or the original installation disc with windows 10. If they are not there at hand, no big deal because they are relatively easy to create. To do this, you need to find a working windows pc. Then, to create a bootable windows 10 USB drive (flash drive), download the windows 10 installation file to it and follow the instructions.
Once you've created an installation or recovery disc, place it in your USB drive and restart your computer.
If you are using the installation disc, the computer will boot from the windows installation screen, where you will need to click "next", and then do a "restore".
Then a blue screen of windows 10 startup menu will appear. Click "troubleshoot -> advanced options -> advanced options -> boot options -> restart”.
The computer should now reboot to a new blue screen called "boot options". Here, select key 4, 5 or 6, depending on which safe mode option you want to enter (without or with driver support or command line).
Shift + restart method
If windows boots (even when the login screen appears), then probably the fastest way to get into Safe Mode is to use this method.
Press the power button in windows 10 (which you can access not only from the start menu, but also from the windows login screen - this is convenient if you cannot enter windows for any reason). Then hold down the "shift" key and press the "restart" button.
A blue Start OSD should appear. You can use the above external media boot method to enter windows 10 safe mode.
Boot using windows options
Another way to boot into Safe Mode that you can use in windows is to go to "options" (the gear icon in the "start" menu, or just type the word "options" in the windows search bar).
Select Update & Security, then click Restart Now under the Custom Download Options heading.
This will take you to the blue screen of the start menu from the first item. Click "troubleshoot" -> "advanced options" -> "view advanced recovery options" -> "startup options" -> "restart" ". After the computer boots up, under Startup Options, select key 4, 5, or 6, depending on which version of Safe Mode you want to use.
Conclusion
The old methods of booting into safe mode in windows 10 are excluded, now you need to master new methods. The process could be a little simpler, more user-friendly, because this is a rather important mode for the operating system. However, all of the above are currently the best and easiest ways to invoke Safe Mode in Windows 10.
