What is safe mode, and why would you use it?
If your computer is having problems starting up, you may need to start it in safe mode. Safe mode starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services to help troubleshoot issues. If your computer isn’t working the way you expect it to, start it in safe mode, and then remove each of your startup items. This will help you find out if a program you installed is causing issues.
