There are several ways to start Windows 10 in safe mode, including using the Settings app, the login screen, the System Configuration tool, and an installation drive; however, there is one method that works best for most people.

What Exactly Is Safe Mode?

Safe mode is an important tool for repairing computers. This mode is used to run programs without any other applications running, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc. You might use it when you want to fix a problem with Windows 10 or another operating system. In most cases, safe mode does not affect the performance of your PC. However, some problems require special attention in safe mode. For example, if you are trying to remove ransomware, you must run the program in safe mode.

To access safe mode, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys together. If you see a black screen, you are already in safe mode. To exit safe mode, press Ctrl+Alt+Del keys together.

How Does Windows 10 Safe Mode Function?

Windows 10 Safe Mode allows you to start up Windows without loading third party software. This is useful when there are issues with the operating system itself. You can use it to troubleshoot errors such as blue screens, black screens, boot error messages, startup errors, etc.

To enter Windows 10 Safe Mode, hold down the Shift key while rebooting your computer. When you see the Windows logo screen, immediately press the F8 key repeatedly to enter Safe Mode.

To enter Safe Mode, simply restart your computer and hold down the shift key while pressing the F8 key repeatedly. Once you see the Advanced Boot Options menu, select Troubleshooting Information and hit Enter. Select Startup Settings and scroll down to Safe Mode. Hit Enter there too.

To boot into safe mode, simply press Shift + F10 during startup. You can do this by holding down the Shift key and pressing the F10 key simultaneously. If you don’t see the option to enter safe mode, try rebooting again.

If you’re still unable to boot into safe mode, it might mean that your PC isn’t compatible with Windows 10. Try downloading the latest version of Windows 10 from Microsoft’s site. If you already have Windows 10 installed on your machine, make sure that you’ve updated to the latest version.
