Windows Users: Troubleshoot Persistent Issues with Safe Mode and System Restore
Windows users facing persistent system issues can utilise Safe Mode, a troubleshooting tool that loads only essential programs and drivers. If Safe Mode doesn't resolve the problem, Windows System Restore can revert the system to a previous state. Safe Mode is available in different variants, each offering varying levels of functionality to aid in diagnosing and fixing issues.
Safe Mode is accessible through Windows settings, making it an easy method when the system is still largely functional. To enter Safe Mode via the login screen, click the Power icon, hold down the Shift key, and select Restart. During restart, Windows will display a blue screen with the words 'Choose an option'. Select Troubleshoot, then Advanced options, and finally Startup Settings. Here, you can choose to start in Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, or Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
If Windows won't start normally, Safe Mode can be forced by interrupting the startup process multiple times. Once in Safe Mode, users can attempt to diagnose and fix the issue. If the problem persists, Windows System Restore can be used to restore the system to an earlier state, potentially eliminating stubborn system errors caused by deep software conflicts. Exiting Safe Mode is done by restarting the system, or manually changing the startup settings in System Configuration.
Safe Mode, a versatile tool in Windows' troubleshooting arsenal, helps users diagnose and fix system errors. Available in various modes, it allows only essential programs and drivers to load, making it an invaluable resource for resolving persistent issues. If Safe Mode doesn't resolve the problem, Windows System Restore offers a last resort to restore the system to a previous, error-free state.
