What is Safe Mode

Safe Mode is a software based feature that can be used to start up a computer with the necessary functions to get the computer up and running. It is typically used when a system has become corrupted or has some type of malware infection that obstructs the computer from performing properly. Safe Mode enables the user to start their computer in a protective environment with limited exposure to malware, viruses, and other security risks.

Benefits of Safe Mode

Safe Mode is used to help diagnose and fix computer issues. It provides the user with various options to troubleshoot a system-related issue without deleting any of their files. Additionally, Safe Mode will disable all non-essential applications and processes so that it can detect potential threats and eliminate any malicious intrusions. This provides the user with a safe environment in which to reevaluate their system and take the necessary actions to resolve their issue.

How to Use Safe Mode

Using Safe Mode is relatively simple. Most computer manufacturers provide the user with the ability to start their computer in Safe Mode by pressing a specific key or keys during the boot sequence. Commonly, pressing F8 or the Escape key at startup will start a computer in Safe Mode. Additionally, users running Windows operating systems can also start Safe Mode through their operating system settings. Once the user is in Safe Mode, they will have various options available to diagnose and resolve their issue.

Safe Mode provides users with a feature that enables them to secure the integrity of their system while attempting to diagnose and fix their system-related issues. By starting their computer in a protective environment, users can look for potential threats and eliminate any malicious intrusions in a secure and efficient manner.
