If your PC is infected with viruses or the system crashes, for example, due to inappropriate drivers, you may need to start your computer in Safe Mode. To do this, you need to perform several steps.
Instructions
Step 1
Safe mode is selected when the operating system boots. If your computer is turned off, turn it on, if it is in working order, click on the "Start" button or the Windows key and select "Shut down" from the menu. In the window that appears, click on the "Restart" button.
Step 2
If for some reason you cannot use the "Start" button, exit using the task manager. Click on the taskbar with the right mouse button and select the "Task Manager" item in the drop-down menu or press the Ctrl, alt="Image" and Del keys combination. In the dispatcher window, select the "Shutdown" item and the "Restart" command in the top menu bar. Wait for Windows to save your settings and shut down.
Step 3
When the system starts a new boot, press the F8 key, then select the desired boot option from the list and confirm your actions with the Enter key. If you have multiple operating systems installed on your computer, select the one you want to boot into Safe Mode. You cannot use the mouse, so you need to use the arrow keys to navigate the menu.
Step 4
The Windows operating system provides several options for Safe Mode. Safe Simple Mode loads the standard system services, keyboard, mouse, monitor, and basic display adapter drivers. In the mode with loading network drivers, in addition to the above, network services and drivers become available. In command line mode, the command line appears instead of the graphical user interface.
Step 5
If you are hoping to troubleshoot problems caused by installing the wrong driver using Safe Mode, you can first try using the Last Known Good Configuration option. This option restores the registry data saved the last time the computer was shut down.
